Hi All,
I have a blank canvas for creating a new Vista based media centre (as a replacement for my current Dell desktop running MCE2005) and would like some advice (especially with video cards) on what people have found on the hardware front.
The main things I want to get out of the upgrade are:
1) Quiet running
2) A specialist case with VFD display that will look smart under my plasma
3) Ability to cope with HDTV (including an eye towards HD-DVD/Blue-ray if possible)
Any feedback from people with Vista set-ups would be gratefully received.
