Mythosaz I didn't see your email so I will post my question here. I am interested in building a media center pc to use on one TV. I am looking for something to work as a TiVo and to also play the music and videos I have on my other machines via the network. The idea to do this comes from me having extra parts. I have an Athlon64 3200+, an Asus A8V Deluxe mb and a BFG Tech 6800 vid card and an extra case. I would prefer to use something windows based because that is what I am used to. I have DirecTV with the older single receiver dish. I have a home theatre so a fancy sound card wouldn't be necessary.
What do I need to make it work as far as hardware and software go?
Thanks for any help with my first Slashdot post.
