I'll try to do it fast.
I want to build a cheap HTPC system. I'm looking for a cheap CPU (maybe Celeron E1600 or A64 3800+) with around 2GB of memory. I wil then add an ATI HD3400 VPU to take HDTV decoding off my "weak" cpu.
My question is, what part do you suggest (cpu, memory, case and VPU specificly) and will it be better to get it from the like of HP or Dell?
Thanks for your input.
