[QUOTE="leemarkadams, post: 30951, member: 17654"] Hello there, looking to get a Media centre PC for the lounge and have seen the Advent models in PC World starting from £699 (I think) Now I know they are not the best in the world, but they are all up and running and complete with wireless keyboard, OS etc… However I have an old (ish) system in the loft that I no longer use and the specs are as follows: Normal Tower case P4 2.8GHz CPU Unsure as to the motherboard spec… 1 Gig RAM 200 Gb HDD 128 mb Geforce 4 Ti Gfx card DVD Writer drive Running Win XP What would be the minimum I would need to add to that system to get a Media Centre style PC using MP. I was thinking of: TV in and out card (s) Some remote keyboard/remote controllers (like the Win Media Edition remotes) A decent case to blend in more…and be quieter… PVR and recording software FM radio card Any advice greatly appreciated, such as do I need XP Media Edition, and what TV card should I get, can I get an MCE style remote and remote keyboard etc... Thanks Lee [/QUOTE]
