[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 1043322, member: 65661"] MySon-in-law approached me about assembling a "low cost" HTPC to meet his essential functionality requirements. They already have a solution for Movies, and was wanting to basically give them DVR capabilities for OTA bradcasts and centralize their music collection. I tried to put together a list that I thought would work for them, starting from an outdated "Making a Low Cost HTPC" web page that he sent a link to. Can I get any comments about the choices for this build, especially the MoBo and CPU. Thanks.
