Hi everyone,
I'm wanting some advice on a good HTPC rig.
Basically I want a really stable setup - it doesn't have to be super powerful, but it must be stable.
Key things I want are:
- enough power for blu ray playback and to record 1 HD channel at the same time.
- minimal power consumption would be great to minimise noise.
- it can be either onboard HDMI or a HDMI card - whatever is more reliable.
- I already have a 1tb Sata drive so no additional needs here.
- onboard USB3 would be a good bonus but not essential.
Without being stupid, money should not be seen as a barrier here - any suggestions would be great.
Cheers - Scott
