The price is not bad at all, considering that it includes a copy of Vista Home Premium. BTW, does anyone know how to configure Astro to work with the HTPC?

Is it based on the new G45 chipset? As far as I can tell, the P45 is already in, so I suppose it should be already in. Have a look at LYN's pricelists.

Should try this out. The only problem is, I do not have Astro.

Nah, just wanna know whether can it be done. My parents don't like watching TV, and because of that, my home TV is still a 20" Aiwa. Darn.

OS?
If can, Windows MCE 2005/2006
If not, Windows Vista Home Premium.
Otherwise, MediaPortal is a freeware.

Kingston Value Ram DDR667 2G
500GB + 200GB HDD
ATI 3650 512 Silent Type

FYI: I notice the ATI card gives better picture quality after some setting and tweaking on the CCC setting...
any comment?

Agree that ATi cards give better color reproduction if compared to nVidia cards. icon_rolleyes.gif

Nice remote. Which xqbox are you using? It does look good, and the price is nice as well.

Most new TV Tuners are Vista certified, but just keep an eye out to make sure. thumbup.gif

I'm using Hauppauge HVR-1300.  Very good and can receive DVB-T channels in Klang Valley.

Locally we have DVB-T signal? Which channel?

boonhong managed to get one recently. I think you should consult him and see. DO let us know if you have bought it. Thanks

8600GT should be enough. Anything more needs extra power cables. I'd recommend an 8600Gt, which can be bought for less than RM300 now.
