Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI AMD 780G - £62.26
X2 3600+ - £24.66
OCZ 2x1Gb - £24.66
Purely for HD TV + internet, have a 'proper' machine for everything else.
Also need:
PSU - needs to be inaudible in the same room as it'll be 'always on'.
TV card - not interested in recording TV, just watching.
CPU Cooler - Again, passive would be ideal, if not properly silent?
As you can tell I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible, so please say no to watercooled Zalman psu's at £420+vat
Given the price, I'm also tempted by the LG Combo Blu Ray / HD DVD
Will be running Vista - probably 32bit unless you can convince me otherwise (always want more RAM, but don't think it's needed?)
