Help with HTPC

ok well at home were just waiting on planning permission to convert our barn into a living space for myself and my friend and it was also be a home cinema for us, the barn isnt the biggest of spaces so any room we can save the better.
i have been looking at HTPCs but really dont understand they work, money isnt really an object so we would be looking for the best money can offer or something cheap but will do the job just aswell, mainly to put blu rays onto and then play onto our tv/projecter

Re: Help with HTPC

This would probably be better off in the Home Cinema PC forum.

There's not really much to understand. Have you built a PC before?

It's a basically the same as building a normal PC, but with slightly different components (such as a Blu-Ray drive and a motherboard with an HDMI output).

Have a look at this thread on the Home Cinema PC forum for more info
