i'm looking for advice on bulding a budget media center pc for my home theater.
budget is under $1000 us.
it will be used to record tv shows (analog and maybe in the future digital), play dvd movies, and mp3.
the tv is an analog sony wega, and the reciever is a denon 6.1 ht.
the reciever can decode dolby digital and dts, etc.
the media pc basic requirments:
- pcm or bitstream coaxial digital output to the reciever's digital input (for surround, pcm, etc).
- COMPONENT video output, later upgradeable to hdtv.
- DVD RW drive that can decode dvd-a and perhaps sacd.
i'm not concerned with games at this point.
