[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 221336, member: 63813"] Hi, although I've successfully built PCs before this will be my first HTPC and I'd appreciate your feed back. Its initial role will be as a PVR for analogue TV - no DVB-T in my region due to lack of available bandwidth. I realise its over the top for initial purpose. However, experience of all sorts of computers from mainframes downwards has taught me the value of spare capacity.
