Right, so, been wanting a htpc for ages so decided i best get round to doing it. I have a redundant 4 year old dell dimension desktop and so want to reuse what i can.
I will be getting the Antec Fusion case as it fits nicely next to my amp (I know of the problems with the lcd - im being optimisitc), whereas the dell does not. Basically, what are your opinions on reusing the components;
Intel Pentium 4 630
4x 256 ddr2 533
ati radeon x600
dell 305 watt psu
I know I need a motherboard and was thinking onboard with vga, hdmi and spdif. Any good suggestions? I have a tv card in the form of a hauppauge t500, hard disk (small but do for now), and blu ray. Looking to spend around 100 notes, tops 150 excluding the case and windows 7.
Any good suggestions?
