I just a hold of an older Presario SR1403WM
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00257657&lc=en&cc=pe&dlc=es&product=501310 and want to tweak it into a low level HTPC. I'll hopefully be hooking it up to an HDTV, although I'm not hoping to get HD content out of the PC.
What I'd like to do with the computer is to hook up to an HDTV to - steam video online via Netflix, play DVDs. That's it
With those requirements in mind, I've started thinking about tweaking the rig but would really appreciate any help you guys can offer. Obviously my budget is limited (otherwise I'd just build a new HTPC) and I'd like to keep costs under $100.
I figure I'll add a 1GB of RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161627 and a video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161080.
What do you guys think?
