Just a quick hello to you all.

Over the next few weeks when I get some time after work I plan to make my self a htpc. I am planing to do it as best and cheap as I can.

I will be useing the parts from my first computer build I did 3 years.

Motherboard : Asus P5-ND2-Se
CPU : Intel Pentium Duel Core E2140
HDD : 250 GB onboard Plus a External 250 GB
PSU : 400w
RAM : 2 GB
NVIDA CARD : GeForce 8600 Gt 256 MB
DVD RW
At the moment its running XP Home 32bit with a
PEAK Multimedia TV Freeview PSI card
-----------------------------------------

The new case will be a OPERA black desktop case
running Vista Home Edition 32bit

So that is my starting point. Any iders or throughts on the above would be a Great Help.

Best wishes Cornishman
