Currently I have a Hauppauge 250 card and I am using GBPVR with a MediaMVP. All is good. However, I want to build an HDPC since the MediaMVP will not support HD. Much confusion abounds. I figure that I will use either an HVR-1600 or 1800 so I can get away with a less expensive CPU. I also planned on using an Antec nsk2400 case. It has two 5.25 external bays so that if, in the future, I want to play both kinds of HD DVDs, I have some place to put the drives. I planned on running Vista Home Premium. Now we get to the question. If I have VHP, should I run GBPVR? If I am only going to run VHP, then I probably should use an Antec Fusion case since it has IR that is supported by Vista. But that case is $90 more expensive. The 1600 comes with a remote that is supported with GBPVR, so that would allow only using the nsd2400. I would rather not spend more than is necessary but then again I don't want to be short sighted in my decision.
Guidance is appreciated.
