[QUOTE="Rhaza, post: 409967, member: 91002"] There are a bunch of threads on this, but I figure the world can live with one more ;) Basically I'm just after a word of advice on whether or not the parts I'm looking at for my new HTPC will be up to scratch. Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 ASUS P5KPL-CM Motherboard Corsair 4GB DDR2 Gigabyte Radeon HD4550 512MB Leadtek WinFast DTV2000H Hybrid HDTV Card I've seen MP running on a mate's setup and was extremely impressed. I'd be primarily looking at using it to watch HDTV, record HDTV, play .avi/.wmv, listen to music/radio and watch DVDs. So yeah, I'd love to know whether people spot any glaring problem I may come across with these part choices. But as well as that, I have a second question that despite reading manuals online and having a quick google browse, have unable to get an answer I'm happy with. How do most people set up their HTPC audio outputs? From the HTPC to a Home Theatre Sound System, or even just to their HDTV? Any comments are most welcome. I'm just psyched MP is so kick ass :P [/QUOTE]
