I have search for a while in the forum here and there doesn't seem to be a list of sites or manufacturers for a good/economical bare bones HTPC, anyone care to share where they are getting a good bare bones pc for under $500 bucks, goal would be to add a card or 2 for audio / video that would juice it up, because it seems you can do that pretty cheap too just getting them separate.
Oh yeah, I also need a 'desktop' configuration so it sits in my cabinent on top of the reciever and actually looks like a component of my system.
I notice you can configure one on http://www.accessmicro.com/bto/index.phtml
however what to pick, then when you pick one of those, what components to choose. I guess I could just get the processor, memory and DVD, and add in my own sound and video card later...
Thanks in advance,
J
