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......

im sorry for you..... maybe u have to change ur mobo.... do concern about the static electric discharged from the tvs as mentioned by Vervain

QUOTE(ryansia @ Jun 24 2006, 03:00 AM)
Well, what you need is just a remote IR receiver, gfx card or mobo with S- video (for crt TV) and a PC of course.... these are pretty much simple but the real pain is at the solfwares......

RM 1.5K machine can even run 1080i HD material already.
cheap cheap
sempron 2600+ less than 300
1 Gig Ram 300
mATX mobo with nvindia 6100 or 6150 gfx built in (c/w S-Video, DVI, Component ) less than 350 thumbup.gif
HDD 200 GB less than 300

all the above is about RM1.2K, balance 300 for other stuffs like low profile (since none of the pci/ pcie will be used) casing  (dun expect nice casing though).......

not to forget, homebrew serial IR receiver for less than RM 30.

but i did not factor in all the solfwares cost...and i dun think you gonna spend a fortune on that.....

i hope it helps.

your friend budget of 1.5K RM imo is too low. for cheap remote, get any unused remote and with a DIY IR receiver with girder as software shld do it. but warning girder is steep like hell to understand

yeah i know how its works..... realy difficult to understand it..... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
