Hello all
As the title suggests, I am looking at an inexpensive way into HTPC. I am about to move house and will be getting a 50" plasma (HD) I have an OK spec desktop, which I plan to keep in my office, but wanted something to browse the webm email and access content from my office PC and 250GB external HD. Mainly music and occasional movies. Will use DVD directly formost viewing.
I came accross this deal at PC world and looks like it could fit nicely into my setup as it looks like a bit of hifi kit.
Will this do the job, will it cope with HD whenever it becomes mainstream.
Any comments or reviews on this system?
