It's my first post here and I hope you can help me building an HTPC.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I still don't know what to buy, that's actually where I need help. Since I live in Portugal, I can only buy components avaible here on in the EU.Let's start with the case... I've seen Silvercrest Lc18(black) and I instantly fell in love with it... But it's too much expensive and I doubt I'll end up buying it, so I'll stick with one that has a "regular number/text display".Basically, I need a htpc that can read both mpeg, divx and h264 full-hd formats (and the standart definition formats too, of course).Now the graphics... I'd like one with dvi output (with hdcp enabled) to connect it to my tv trough a dvi-hdmi adaptor.  And if it could have hardware acceleration to decode, deinterlace, etc, that would be a plus too!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> The board/processor... I have no ideia what can read all those HD formats, so I really need help here.And the capture cards, I'm thinking an analog card and a DVB-S capture card too.Wireless network would be cool too, like that I could read/write files from my PC to my HTPC and vice-versa.Well, in terms of hardware I guess this is all... And I'm already scared with how much everything I "want" will cost, but can't hurt to try <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /> +The software... I just found out about MP, so I'm still testing it, I'll tell you if it fits my needs (I hope so, and I'm confident) later.Oh, I forgot... What I really don't want is a noisy system... I already own a rear-projection tv, so I really don't need more noise in the room <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Thanks for your time and I hope you can help me!</blockquote>
