I want to build a HTPC

[Viral]

I would really like to build myself an inexpensive HTPC as my wife and I enjoy watching a lot of tv shows and it would be great to have them all on the one system. Should I be looking at the older cpu sockets? How much power does a HTPC really need to have?

I just want to use it to watch TV shows and ilms really, it will not have to do any recording, it would also be nice if I could hook it up to my stereo to play music.
