Hey all, I have some friends who are looking to build their own HTPC, and would like to custom build it.
Here are their preferences:
-Parts Source: Newegg (Canada)
-Overclocking: No
-Price Range: $~450
-Size: Smaller or equal size to a "s" model Dell Inspiron
-Uses: Watching DVD's, streaming movies and videos, possibly burning DVDs, general entertainment
-Based on: Doesn't matter; AMD or Intel
Their display would be a 42" TV, so they don't need a monitor/display or anything.
So what would you guys recommend for these needs? I'm totally new to HTPC's, but I'd really like to help these people out.
