media centre pc ( in england )?
Wanting to build a media centre that has at least or roughly the following :
Intel core 2 duo ( dual core 2ghz plus )
1gb RAM possibly 2gb
500gb hdd
1 gig network card
blu ray / dvd rw optical drive
An Nvidia graphics card that has
s video out
dvi
vga
An inbuilt infra red sensor with a remote and also a wireless keyboard and mouse ( in case the remote dont work )
Not sure what OS I require was thinking windows xp MCE or windows xp pro
Need the network card to work as will be streaming and or putting some movies onto the hard drive.
Want it to be slim line , something similiar to :
http://www.mediapc.tv/index1.html
making sure to select the following link thats on the left side ( about 3rd down ) --> mediaPC.tv Slim HD
so that the media player is slim line as possible.
If not then it has to be silver.
Dont want to spend too much more then 400 £ ( uk pounds. )
first of all can you read the question at hand !!!
Second of all I did not mention RAID as I do not have money to throw at it and I do not need RAID - if the movies are lost due to the hard drive failing I can put them back on there.
Also I did ( at least I think I did ) ask the question(s) that I wanted answering so if you read the question you may see that I wanted to know if anyone knew a good place online i could get a media centre pc from ( excluding ebay ) as I have checked on ebay and it seems cheaper and better / safer to get it from a reputable place as per the link I posted where they build it to spec for you.
Just wanted to know if anyone had experience of them or another company that does something similar that they can recommend.
nudge / bump - has anyone else got any input or was that my answer ?
