Hey all
Am planning/ hoping to build a HTPC in the near future (money and the rest permitting).
Ive been looking for components but can't make my mind up nor do I know what is best for a HTPC.
Ideally am wanting a Micro ATX case so it can sit on a shelf or whatever under my T.V.
Im looking at spending about £450.
Thats not including the OS unless the budget allows it.
Also, any suggestions on which OS would be best?
Thanks in advance.
