    Best Home Theatre PC??? What to buy?

    Hi There,

    We are looking to buy a PC to create a home theatre. This would be for watching HD TV, DVD's and Streaming Movies etc.. It would be great to be able to record TV also. We have 2 TV's in the house, so is it then better to also something that can stream from this PC to another base?

    Quite a novice to this but sick of paying so much money for SKY and would prefer to invest in the hardware.

    All feedback welcome.

    Cheers
    Kat

    Hi Kat,

    Great to hear you're considering one of our 3XS systems!

    We'd really recommend the following machine as a good starting point;

    3XS H55 Media Centre

    i3 or i5 powered, with plenty of TV cards and storage choice options.


    The best media centre rig that we build is;

    3XS 3D Blu-Ray Ready Home Theatre PC

    This is top tier platform supporting everything which the H55 machine does, with the added benefit of a larger case for more disks should you choose and of course 3D BluRay capabilities.

    Any of these machines can be customised completely to your requirements.

    Please do let me know if we can be of any more assistance

    All the very best
