I want to put together a hometheater PC. Problem is, it has been years since I built a computer from the ground up. I think i would like to run MythTV on it, but really don't know for sure.
My needs: must be able to copy to the HD and play back blu-ray (and hd-dvd, if possible) must have romm for 200+ movies, and 400+ albums (stored in flac or other lossless format)
I already have a HT receiver that I will be keeping, so digital-out would be ok (unless there are soundcards w/ very good processors and 6.1 analog out)
HDMI video out is a must.
I could also use some reccomendations on software for making the backups, etc.
Finally- budget constraints:
we are not wealthy, so $500-600 is probably the max, and we may have to par down the list and make comprimises to get it even lower...
lastly....would it be better to just suck it up and get a PS3? how much storage do they actually have (in terms of # of bluray movies storable)?
Thanks ahead of time for any help!
