I'm planning a new htpc and need a bit help choosing the hardware (I need it to be as chaper as posible):
Case -> I'm looking for a good htpc case. I need it to be as cheap as posible and to have VFD and a remote that work with MP. I have seen the thermaltake Mozart at 99€, but no remote on it, so the ir blaster won't be hide....
Mobo -> No option atm, I'm waiting to select it after I have the case.
Micro -> Depend of the motherboard an AM2 will be a good option, also a c2d could be selected.
Ram -> 2 gb in dual channel.
Graphics -> A Sapphire x700pro 256mb that have from an old pc.
HD -> One old PATA 120gb from seagate (maybe when I get more money I put 2xsata in raid).
DVD-RW -> One dvd-rw unit.
Tv card-> My old hauppauge HVR-1300
any advise?
P.D.=Excuse my bad english pls.
