[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 1281, member: 11"] I have fallen behind as far as HTPC technology is concerned :oops: What components are generally required to build a decent HTPC(besides the obvious Case, motherboard, wireless keyboard & mouse) Which OS? Windows Media Centre or Linux? Where would you generally place such a beast? A PC would generally look out of place standing on top of an AV rack, won't it? Or would you go for a rackmount case to blend everything in? Would a HTPC also replace your DVD/CD player? Are the PC DVD players really on par with standalone DVD players? I am sure I will get some well informed opinions and I have to replace the PC I currently have at home, so I thought why not combine HT with it :D [/QUOTE]
