|
After several weeks research on HTPC parts . I have the list of HTPC parts that I want to get. Though this is not the best HTPC you can hav but you will be able to do most of the thing you can with HTPC
- Samsung SlimFit 30" Widescreen Flat-Tube HDTV (TX-R3079WH), Maybe replaced with Flat panel
- P4 2.4GHZ, 512 RAM
- Leadtek Nvidia 6200
- 120GB + 40GB HDD
- DVDRW + DVDROM
- Sabrent 52-in-1 USB 2.0
- Theatrix TV Tuner Card (ATI Theater™ 550 PRO)
- Systemax Wireless Multimedia USB Keyboard/Joystick/Mouse
- Black Cooler Master CM Media 250 Micro ATX/ ITX
- Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu CPU COOLER
- Integrated sound card
- 500W PSU with huge 12cm Fan
wishlist:
- M-Audio's Revolution 7.1
- 1GB of ram
- Onkyo Home Theater System (HT-S780)
Maybe the list will be added later.
So far the target is to build the cheapest possible, silent good HTPC with avaiable parts.
The PC
The PC was originally from IBM netvista that I bought a year ago for $250, for linux server. It has 1GB of ram but I think 512 is enough for DVD viewing and recording. I am going to use the other 512MB for my bro machine :) Part 2 |
