Hi I already use my pc as a music server and i was thinking of upgrading it for more htpc roles.
Here's the spec:
P4 2.6G
80GB HD
256Mb DDR Ram
On board graphics and sound.
At the moment the pc is connected to my amp with a mini jack to phono cable and although the sound is adequate I'm sure it can be improved.
So basically my questions are I know that the sound and graphics need upgrading but to what, do I need s-video out? Also how would I connect this to my tv which only has scart connections (wouldn't and adaptor harm the image quality?). And also will any sound card with digital outputs do or are there specific models I sould look for?
My main aim is to use the pc as a pvr in case this matters
Many thanks
