Upgrading to a Core2Duo PC in Feb and wondering whether to use the existing PC bits (CPU/Mobo/Memory/Gfx) to put into a new HTPC. Or should I just buy a complete system and sell those bits ?
Not really bothered about HDTV playback just recording off SKY+, watching DVDs and watching ripped movies from the hard drive.
Existing specs are Athlon 3400+ / 6800LE AGP graphics / Asus 8VSE Deluxe mobo/ Corsair memory. Looking on ebay worth £30/£30/£30/£50 in total.
Have come up with this spec for the bits to make this into a nice HTPC which comes to £370.
What do you think ?
