Hi all
As the title says. I need it to do the following, Mulimedia Centre, DVD's, Stored Movies, Hi Def Movies, Music, No Gaming. I will eventually stick a Blue Ray Player in but not yet.
So will some of the all in one boards be good enough for this or will i need a good graphics card, i heard to do Hi def (1080i) i will need a good core 2 because this will handle the 1080i side of things because i will be using onboard graphics (Would AMD do to keep in budget?). This is where i am stuck as i am not to sure. I will also want to hook up my cable box, so i will need a TV card to to use as PVR, again not sure on this to.
Case has to be a nice one, look good under 42" plasma also. Possibly be using Vista 64 (allready Have) or i may use linux.
Thanks in advance.
Oh and budget is £350 ish
