i am planning on building my first ever pvr and have settled on the following components:
-Accent HT-400
-samsung p120 160gb SATA
-512mb memory
-a nvidia based board (probably an a7n8x)
-a 256mb FX5200 (or FX5500) or use my 128mb Ti4800se and use it as an excuse to get a Gf6600GT for my main pc.
-PVR500
this would be a dedicated pvr so silence is top of the list in terms of priorities.
i decided against the intel cpus due to their power requirements (=heat=noise), BUT am unsure as to whether i should get an XP, Sempron or MP processor!
any advice gratefully recieved.
PS: this (http://www17.tomshardware.com/howto/20050621/index.html) article didnt help me any! although, motherboard and cpu are really expensive (all the voices!!)
