Hello,
I am planning to build a "media center" PC for home. Following are the tasks which I have planned to do till now:
1. TV tuner card for both recording and playing
2. Write DVD (I can outsource DVD writing to another PC though)
3. Play MP3/VCD/DVD/DivX/Xvid files
Hardware:
1. I have got the IOMagic DVD Writer (from Staples BF this year)
2. Planning to get "fx 5200 personal cinema" or "tv wonder pro remote" version (i.e. definitely w/ a remote).
Questions:
1. What kind of CPU-Mobo will be sufficient for this? I don't wanna deluge this w/ lot of unused power.
2. How much power should be sufficient?
3. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any comments.
