[QUOTE="oafc0000, post: 45018, member: 18224"] Hi All Been thinking about this for a number of months now and I think I have decided on what to get. Can you guys have a quick look and give me ** thoughts. Key Requirements: Decent output to standard CRT 32" TV & LCD/PLASMA in the future Capable of handling HD content Dual Freeview Tuner for watching and recording at same time Do all the nice fancy things like upscaling of DVDs etc Optical Output for the sound to connect to my home cinema system Be upgradable to handle any future requirements without having to rip out the motherboard. Games might be a requirement in the future but isnt right now. Basically be able to do everything you might want to do with a HTPC. Must be compatable with MCE 2005 as well as MediaPortal. My Spec: CPU AMD 3200 OEM 64 bit Case Silverstone LC10M Motherboard ASUS A8R-MVP TV Card Terratec 2400i DT MCE Edition Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Memory 2 x 512 Keyboard any cheap wireless Mouse any cheap wireless Remote Control Microsoft MCE Remote inc IR Reciver HD Maxtor DiamondMax 200 Gig SATA II Sound Card Terratec Aureon 5.1 PCI 6 Chan. Digital in/out soundcard DVD Re-Writer 16x PSU Any Silent 600w Heatsink Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower ( WiFi Card Belkin Wireless Card Total cost about £660 Cheers [/QUOTE]
