HTPC build for freeview HD.
Hey there, looking to build a rig out of some spare components with a budget of around £180.
Already have:
Monitor
DFI P45M T2RS uATX motherboard
Dual core 3ghz core 2
4GB DDR2 ram
320GB HDD (WD RE3 7200RPM)
Keyboard + mouse
So really I am looking for tuner, case, PSU.
I was looking at this tuner:

and then this case and PSU:

What do you think? Where would you invest the left over cash?

That tuner is probably the best bet for an external USB one, there is a great PCIe one in the Blackgold BGT3620 if you have room inside the case.
Re: HTPC build for freeview HD.
I've been looking into a freeview tuner myself. The choices are limited but I thought the BG dual tuner PCI-E card was looking the best value.
Dual tuners can be quite useful and it's cheaper to buy a dual card now then add a second single tuner later.

I would check this part of the Hexus guide for some suggestions:
