[QUOTE="joystick, post: 337415, member: 18134"] Hi! to be honest I don't understand the question, because you already bought the system, right? what should you install relating to MP Software? Well, I think should absolutely install MP + TV server, works great in my setup. Personally i would also sty with XP, but that's just my opinion... :) If you want a hint about the hardware specs of your system then... here are my thoughts: I would definitely go for 2 HDDs, one (2 -3 partitions) for system an MP, the other one for Recordings and timeshifting, also I would recommend to use more memory, at least 500gb per HDD, also because you want to record HD content, right? I would definitely us a better grafics card, preferably a ATI 38xx or something in that area , because those cards reduce CPU usage while watching HD content(with the correct codec, btw) and therefor reduce heat in the the system, thus you get a much quiter htpc. hope that helps... cheers joystick [/QUOTE]
