[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 51344, member: 122"] Just a few notes on how I did it: 1. I couldn't be bothered spending R3k on an HTPC case. I used a cheapy that is hidden behind my wall unit. I got a Hauppage IR remote to control the setup and that's all you can see of the PC 2. HDMI with LPCM is not a problem on a R600 ATI 4650. That's how I'm doing it. If you want bitstream (and your receiver supports it) you can get the next gen 5470 for around R800 (MSRP) But yes, going the PC route is much more expensive than getting a medi8er. In fact, if I had to do it all again I'd just get a medi8er. I may just end up doing that, purely out of a convenience perspective. 'cause let's face it, what's more convenient than just switching something on and pressing play. No booting, no fiddling, no updates and no anti-virus. [/QUOTE]
