Advice for building a media center PC
Hi
I was hoping you guys could give me some general advice for building a media center PC, which I want to hook up to my plasma. I want to use it as: -DVD Player -Video Player for Digital Media -Audio receiver for my cable box and for playing digital music files -Streaming video from the internet -Video Games, mostly ROMs (NES, SNES, N64, PS, etc.), not really any hardcore PC games Some question I had: -Is there any reason to get Vista Home, or should I get XP Media center edition, or is there some other better software I should use? -If I get a external HD for most of the media files, is their going to be any trouble streaming them to the computer? -What do I need to do to set up the computer as an audio receiver? Can I just get a card with a digital audio input or something? -Is there anything else I should know/consider? |
