Hello,
i´m new here and almost new to MP and HTPC, but not to build a own PC from scratch.
I want to build a low budget HTPC for MP, mainly for watching and recording TV (DVB-S) and DVD. HDTV is actually not an issue for me because my TV is an oldfashioned tube one. In one or 2 years perhaps I´ll buy a HDTV Display, then I´ll need a serious upgrade for the HTPC but this is ok.
My suggested Hardware List:
- Case: AOpen H380A Slim with 300W Power Supply
- Mainboard: Biostar TA690G, because of the analog Video Out for my TV
- CPU: Sempron64 LE1100
- RAM: 1GB DDR2-800
- DVB-S: MSI TV@nywhere Satellite
- HDD: 120GB IDE, left over from an old PC
- DVD-Reader, also left over from an old PC
Is this hardware compilation ok? Would you expect this will work properly? If not, what problems do you see?
Thanks for answering,
Alex
