That is 1/2 of a HTPC. A full-fledged HTPC will have a TV Tuner card (hardware encoder, mind U), a video card with HD out capabilities (via component or DVI), a bigger HDD for recording and of course, a real remote control. Oh yes, and of course a casing that will suit the rest of your HT gear. biggrin.gif

Full fledged HTPC = $$$$$$$$ sweat.gif

Wait till HD is more widely available in Malaysia. Then the HTPC will be of use. A HTPC can play real 720p and 1080i HD contents via DVI or component. Current players can only do upscalling from 480. Real dedicated players that can do HD is still way more expensive then a full-fledged HTPC, and is set to remain in that price range that is out of reach to the average Joe.

Chew, not you as u not really a small fry. tongue.gif

On a serious note I do agree with you. Then again, are you willing to spend that much of money on it? sweat.gif

Taikor, HTPC is cheap man's HD player, DVD/HDD recorder and media streamer all-in-one solution (read: cheaper than getting all separates, RM3k can settle all) tongue.gif And when BD-ROM or HD-DVD is out, just have to replace the DVD-ROM, no need to throw away the PC.

And knowing the PC industry, it's only a matter of time until they crack the HDCP on HD discs. whistling.gif

I wanna build a Low End HTPC for my fren......
His min requirement was must have remote to operate(4 listening to music while turn of da tv/ watching movies), small form factor, very low end as he not gonna use it for extreme condition such as high end gaming or recording any tv programs.

The purpose is for education, multimedia entertainment........ His max budget is RM1500

So can u guys suggest me the hardware i do need for this HTPC......

Thanx for your contribution......
