[QUOTE="semichco, post: 174291, member: 53941"] Hi All! First of all these forums have been a wealth of information over the past month in helping me put some specs together. My main aim is to build a sub $1000 Australian Dollar media center with the ability for it to be upgraded to cope with HD (Blue Ray etc) in the future. So far the specs read: CPU AM2 Athlon 64X2 4200+ MAINBOARD Gigabyte MA69GM-S2H RAM DDR2 2GB GENERIC KIT GRAPHICS ONBOARD - To be upgraded to a ATI based 2400 or 2600 for HD use. CASE Antec Fusion Black 430 (includes IR receiver) POWER SUPPLY INC IN CASE KEYBOARD\MOUSE ??? TV TUNER ??? HARD DISK SAMSUNG 500GB 16MB DVD DRIVE ASUS SATA LIGHTSCRIBE REMOTE ??? As you can see i have a couple of question marks beside some items and after some input. I want a dual hybrid HDTV tuner PCI-E. I have looked into: [URL="http://www.avermedia.com/EN/Default.aspx?TYPE=vipplayercard.htm&PT=product&tv_TCAT_POS=0&CATNO0=B&CATNO1=BA&CATNO2=BAA&CATNO3=BAA2&CATNO4=BAA2C&CNT=4&PID=4710710671808"]AverTv Duo Hybrid[/URL] [URL="http://www.comprousa.com/New/en/product/e700/e700.html"]Compro Video Mate E700[/URL] Media center Keyboard/Mouse & Remote I have absolutely no idea what to get here. The Antec case states the IR works with the MS Remote... The MS media center keyboard looks the best out of any i have seen. The above components cost about $770 - Is this sub $1000 Media Center still attainable? :thx: [/QUOTE]
