I am hoping to build a media centre around the Shuttle SG31G2. It can be changed but it's got to be a shuttle.
Got the optical and hard drive sorted, LG & Samsung 500 sata II
Advice needed re:
(1) what kind/brand of memory
(2) Graphic card, pref Nvidia. Was looking at the 8800GTS i don't know if it will fit.
(3) Cpu quad or dual core
(4) Is it better to stick with Win XP media centre (OEM) or vista premium (OEM)
(5) Stick with the onboard sound or get a creative gamer series card.
Money is an issue don't want to go OTT.
Thanks for looking and commenting.
