budget htpc? min basic specs?

[munz]

So im after a htpc so that i can access internet, playback hd content from youtube and watch blu ray movies.

Im looking at stuff like core 2 duo/ and other older/cheaper tech would this stuff all be able to do what i want?

i have copy of win 7, and I have 1 tb Hard drive

could anyone spec me a really budget basic htpc?

thanks for replies

still thinking it over, between going amd fusion route or going for a 2nd dual core + cheap gpu, i really like the look of the SG0 cases the white ones,

yeah i wanna try keep it as quiet as possible so will look into the pico psu
