Another year, another look to see if there is such a thing as a budget+useable+watchable HTPC. Min reqs:- Blu ray+DVD RW, HDMI to TV, wireless LAN, neat/quiet enough black desktop case to sit under the TV.
No, I don't want a PS3!
That's it really; I don't need TV tuner (we've a PVR which does that job without fuss.). The driving forces behind the requirement are to play Blu-Ray and DVD without fuss and to enable the d/l of TV shows in AVI format and to play them on the TV (hooking my laptop up to do this is a real pain).
If somebody can suggest a case and m/board I'll take it from there. Thanks.
