I have a few dollars burning a hole in my pocket and I wanted to know what the state of the union was w/r/t the "Best In Class" components before I go wasting money:
How about an update for the following HTPC hardware categories:
-> Mobo/CPU/RAM/Case: Not as important, but, please comment with respect to minimum power required, compatibilities
-> Graphics Card (Display): Gaming and general video output?
-> Capture Card : Best for general capture and compat with dscaler?
-> Audio Card: Gaming (DirectX9/EAX is important) and 24/96 audio as well! Halflife2 and Beethoven are inseparable!
-> DVD DRIVE: got to play those discs (especially the DVD-R discs I will be burning)
-> HDTV Card - there are three main ones (HiPix, AccessDTV and MYHD) -- but which one is the best in class
Thanks
Jeff
