<font color='#008080'>This is a "coming soon" announcement. I will be doing a start to finish, comprehensive piece on building your own Home Theater PC.
I will start with bare components and build the entire box from the ground up, explaining the pluses and minuses of each component as well as providing helpful tips and guidelines for what to look for in a fully functional unit.
My goal? To build a very functional HTPC unit for under $750, not including software. At the end of the article, you'll know how to do it yourself, and where to buy the parts.
If you have no idea what an HTPC is, and would like to "bone up" on some background info, take a look at
this thread to get the basic gist of the HTPC craze.
The difference between the Audioholics article and everyone else's take, is that our product will be reproducible by you... step by step, part by part. If you want to build an HTPC, this will be the definitive guide. And as we upgrade, we'll add addendums to the article.
Remember, there are 100 ways to build an HTPC box, and we'll pick just one, but our guide willl enable just about anyone to do it themselves.
Coming in early August!</font>
