Thinking of getting a PC for use as a HTPC. Obviously quiet components are required, but does it need to be a huge spec? Was thinking of the lowest spec Core 2 Duo, along with 1gb of dual channel memory and a large HDD (around 400 gb). Anyone else have a HTPC, what are your recommendations regarding components? Would like it to be able to handle high res (HDTV) DivX files. HTPC would be connected to either a Samsung 32 or 37" LCD TV. >> Stay informed about: HTPC - Spec/questions
