Hi there

You haven't mentioned a budget or skill level, but some people like this pre-built home-theater PC:

    Hi there
    
    The AVS discussion is mostly on the combo Blu-Ray/HD-DVD drive that this PC has. The people who frequent the HTPC forums tend to favor the "latest and greatest". If you mention HDTV, the majority will start discussing digital cable and tend to ignore OTA. The fact that this PC has an NTSC/ATSC tuner is irrelevant to most of the posters.
    
    For a lower price, HP does have models without the hi-def optical drive. The components you do want are Vista Media Center, the ATSC tuner and the nVidia 8500 video card.
    
    Regards
    - Thank you! But already I'm feeling out of my depths... nt - clarkjohnsen 07:46:13 05/09/08 (0)
