[QUOTE="JeromeF, post: 97414, member: 27795"] Hello, I've spent the last 3 months building and sourcing components for my HTPC after being in a car accident and left house bound. My system compiles of the following hardware: [LIST] [*]Thermaltake Mozart case with Media Lab (iMON Remote + SW) [*]Intel Pentium D805 2.66GHz with stock cooling [*]ASRock 775TWINS-HDTV motherboard [*]K-World PCI 100 DVB-T [*]1Gb (2x512Mb) DDR333 Corsair Value memory [*]Samsung Spinpoint 250Gb hard drive [*]LG DVD+/-RW Dual Layer DVD drive [/LIST] I'm currently using the onboard sound and video. The onboard video has a component output too, which i use in conjunction with my DMTECH 26" LCD. I bought the motherboard as i was curious about the HDTV/COMPONENT output, it seems ok but i can not get it quite as i expected to with my TV, i think it was more of a 'gimic' / selling point than anything of real performance. I have been using Media Portal for about three days so far, i really do like it but i am having lots of problems. It seems to crash and give me the BSOD quite often, maybe i just need to give it some time and tweak my setup until it is a little bit more stable. So what does everyone think of this system? Any recommendations on upgrading? JeromeF :D [/QUOTE]
