[QUOTE="vbap, post: 19945, member: 11549"] This all looks fine. Make sure you update XP Pro to SP2 with all latest updates. Sometimes, handy to have a small second HDD to install the OS/programs on, leaving the large HDD for TV recordings & other Media files. I'm not from the UK, so can't really comment about which specific cards work best with the various DVB offerings available. DMAN (forum mod) is UK-based, so check his signature for what he uses :) Passive 6600 & 6800 available (from Gigabyte I think). Check out the fancy Silverstones / Accent cases. Quite popular (but also expensive!). However, cases are a very personal choice...! Well, I would say a mojority of users here output through CRT. If you get a good picture from your TV without MP, then you should be able to get just as good a picture with MP. Most issues tend to be related to tweaking your graphics card with your particular TV. Well, I'm just using the built-in stereo speakers of my LCD TV, so can't help much here! :lol: [/QUOTE]
