Help!!!! For An Entertainment PC
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: Busyman™
I need a PC with
horizontal case
accomodation for an ultra-powerful graphics card with HDMI
support for proper fan, power supply and such
ultra fast CPU (or thereabouts)
Vista Ultimate
from a reputable existing PC manufacturer
I'd have one built but I have no idea of the reliability.
I'd build one but I am too busy for it.
I'll buy all the other stuff aftermarket (if it's not included already).
I wanna play my PC games on my big screen and also want my DVDs on a server stylee.
I want my HTPC!!!
edit: ok if necessary I will build one (first choice isn't that though). It pisses me off that, from what I've seen, no mainstream manufacturer pushes HTPCs. I like a case like this but I don't need a screen on front

I would want multiple HDs versus one huge one. Total of at least a TB.

This (http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/24/how-to-build-a-practical-htpc/) might give you some ideas.
At the very least, it's an overview of the process.
I think you're gonna end up having to build it yourself.
