Hi, i am new to this(htpc) and i have a couple of questions.
It would be nice to replace all the boxes(dvd, digital tv box and more) in the living room so i thought i would give my pc a go.
Its a P4 2.8 1Gb memory
Nvidia 6800GT
Soundblaster 2 audigy.
The thing is that i want the best sound and picture around since i am thinking about replacing some fairly good stuff.
So will it really be as good picture with a HTPC as i get with a 600€ DVD player? Will it be as good sound(i will keep my yamaha amplifier as a amplifier)
I know that i will need to buy a tv card for satelite aswell.
If i need to buy some new equipment, what do you recomend?
Things that i want:
Excelent picture with DVI or HDMI (at least 720p?).
Excelent 6.1 or 7.1 sound.
Ease of use(for the wife and kids, wich i perhaps do not have today
)
Stupid questions perhaps....
Thanks in advance.
