Hi,
Put together some specs for a HTPC box I plan on putting together for my dad. Anyone got any opinions or advice on the setup ? To be used on a 32" Panasonic HDTV, Relibilty and simplicity to operate being the key here. Will run on Windows Media Center 2005. Plan to get an extra 512Mb RAM and perhaps an aditional TV tuner at a later date. Will this setup be suitbale for scaling DVD's ?
