![]() I'm looking at some Home Theatre PCs, both barebones systems and custom built. I've looked at AOpen EA65, MSI Mega 865, Ahanix Divine, Shuttle, Cooler Master ACT-620, Asus DigiMatrix, Soltek, etc.
The PC will be hooked up to my TV to watch DVDs, to watch TV shows, and to record TV shows (digitally). I can then throw out my DVD player and VHS player. The PC will also run a webserver and a database. The EA65 and Mega 865 seem overkill since they are designed to also be used without running Windows but since I'm running it as a webserver, it will be running Windows 24/7 so I don't really want to pay for that feature. But I like the LCD displays such as the one that comes with the EA65, Mega 865, and Ahanix VFD. I want a remote control. Should I get the one that comes with the PC or use the one that comes with the TV Tuner card? What's a good website for Home Theatre PC forums and reviews? I'm looking at htpcnews.com |
