Hi guys,
I've been trying to read up on good HTPC-style motherboards and parts to use for a HTPC I want to build for my dad for Christmas. I've got about £250 for the system itself (not including peripherals, etc) and I was wondering how you guys might spec out a HTPC for that price.
I'm not too worried about storage, as I have a NAS on the network, and I have the OS already, so I'm looking for straight hardware and of course, quietness, to a certain extent.
What would you guys use in your builds? Does anyone feel like speccing up an example I can work from?
