Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could give your opinions on an MCE based machine I'm looking at building and tell me if I've missed anything/any problems you foresee, its for my living room with TV (hopefully soon to be projector) setup.
Silverstone LC11-M Case (with VFD, 300W PSU, remote, PCI E Riser)
Intel D945GPM Motherboard (ViiV board)
Intel Pentium D 920 CPU
1GB 533 DDR2 RAM (2 x 512)
Western Digital 250GB Sata II 16MB cache hard drive
Gainward Geforce 6200TC (Passively cooled)
Hauppage Win-TV PVR 150 MCE x 2
Wireless keyboard and mouse
MCE 2005
Sony DVD RW +- DL
USB Wireless G
I'm not really movable on the CPU/Motherboard (due to cheap availability to myself
).
The dual analogue tuners are because I have Sky (free to air) and would get a second Sky box (if i can split the signal coming in) for watching/recording seperate channels at once.
I think the graphics card is HD ready.
I really want a case with VFD included and a case thats fairly slim
Oh and for sound I'll be using the SP/DIF connector on the motherboard to connect to an amp.
All comments welcome!
Cheers
