[QUOTE="Raveen, post: 360714, member: 87259"] I've been using MP for a while now with an old pc attached to my SD TV and very good it is too. Yesterday my new 42" 1080p tv arrived (and is magnificent ;) ) and I've moved from the SVideo dark ages to the shining HDMI future. My old box is a Dell Optiplex GX 270 with a P4 cpu and various spare parts added by myself (Xfi sound card, wi fi network card, Radeon 9550 AGP card and two PCI Black gold DVB-T cards). This was fine for a SD box and works well enough on the new TV but I'd like to try upscaling my TV and DVDs as well as playing Blu Rays as well. So this means a new machine. What I'd like to know is what would you folks suggest in terms of hardware. Cheap would be good as would reusing as much as possible from my existing setup. [/QUOTE]
