I'm starting from scratch, with no spare parts. I would like to build an HTPC for recording of TV shows in HD from satellite and to have the ability to save them to DVD or playback on an HD tv. What would you recommend? I would like to stay with AMD for the cpu. Not planning to use for any gaming. thanks.
edit:I dont want to say money is no object, but whatever it takes is what I am going to spend. and I do have this tuner card MSI TV@nywhere Master tuner card from the computer in my sig.
so far it looks like:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2.4GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor - Retail
Asus nVidia GeForce 8500GT Silent 512MB DVI/HDTV PCI-Express Video Card
Kingston 2GB KIT DDR2-800 PC2-6400 CL5 240-pin DIMM (Retail)
Asus M2N Motherboard
ATX form factor is fine with me.
MS XP OS
