Hi guys,
Im going crazy over the mass of information here after having read dozens of threads im even more confused about what to choose. So i really hope that any of you skilled HTPC users/builders can guide me in the right direction.
Untill a few days ago i thought that a Mac Mini 2,3ghz i5 was THE solution - but its over my budget - and im afraid that it might not suit my needs anyway - then consideres ASRock Ion 3d & Zotac - now leaning towards building my own...
Approximate Purchase Date: now
Budget Range: £250-£350 ($400-500)
System Usage:
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon.co.uk
Location: Denmark (will shop from UK or worldwide)
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: Full HD 3D tv
Is this possible within the price range? and what (system/parts) will you reccomend?
Id really appreciate your help
