Hi guys,
Can you please give me some advice on creating a cheap media center PC. I want something I can play HD content to my 1080p LCD TV (Sony W Series).
I dont want to play games on it, I would want to install windows media center, and play HD movies from it. Im not even interested in being able to record TV programs to the TV, I just want to output HD Content to the TV.
I figured it would be a better option than buying something like a Heilos X3000 as you can play more files types like H264, and should be more furture proof.
Is it possible to build one of these cheaply, for about £200-£300 or something?
