I recently posted about a tutorial on how to build a Mac Media Center and I wouldn't want to leave all the Windows users out so here is another tutorial for building a media center on a Windows PC.An article on Server Guy explains how a media center PC was built from the following:
- Shuttle PC
- Athlon XP 2000 CPU
- 512MB RAM
- 300GB hard drive
- nVidia GeForce 4600 video card
- SnapStream's Beyond TV
- Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150
- FireFly Remote
1. "It just goes to show that you do not need a powerful PC to make a media center PC"
This is true unless you are recording HDTV with an HD card such as the ATI HDTV Wonder. In that case it is recommended to get an AMD 64 3200+ or better.
