Is this a decent spec for a HTPC system, I would want to record from TV and Sky and poss stream to another PC wirelessly if poss.
GIGABYTE KN8 PRO SLI motherboard runs Athlon 64bit,Dual core, FX64 etc 939 pin processors and take Dual Channel RAM upto 4GB.
1 x ATHLON 64 BIT PROCESSOR 3000+ (1.81 GHZ)
1 x GIGABYTE 6600GT PCI EXPRESS CARD (SLI)
1 x CLUB 6600GT PCI EXPRESS CARD (SLI)
1 x GB RAM (2 x 512 MB) DDR400 PC3200
1 x SAMSUNG 200GB SATA 2 HARD DRIVE
1 x HAUPPAUGE PCI DIGITAL FREEVIEW TV CARD
MEDIA CENTER EDITION 2005 INSTALLED WITH NVIDIA PUREVIDEO DECODER ALL ACTIVATED AND LEGAL COPIES.
1 x OFFICAL MICROSOFT MEDIA CENTER KEYBOARD AND REMOTE CONTROL WITH RECEIVER
ALL FITTED IN T2 SILENTIUM SLIVER CASE WITH DUAL FANS AND 450W (actuall power output) PSU.
Black Pioneer DVD RW RAM Drive.
They are asking £400 delivered for this (It is a used system)
Would this be any good and do you think the price is right, the parts alone seem to come to approx £562
Any advice or comments greatly appreciated as this is my first foray into HTPC.
Thanks
