Great, might give Win8 a try then. Cheers all, I'll let you know how it works out once I've put the beast together.

I think Windows 8 has great potential for media centres, the new tile system makes it a doddle to get around.

Just needs more apps but you can always add websites as a tile as well.

I just bought a brand new HTPC and it was £277 all-in. Was suprised at how cheap you could get what is effectively a good spec PC for.

That was for ATX motherboard, case, PSU, 3.3Ghz i3 CPU, 4GB DDR3 and a 2TB hard drive. Hasn't arrived yet but I'm just planning on running W7.

Remember that only 2nd Gen Intel CPUs support HDMI 1.4 if you need that.
