Build a great Home Theater PC for about $1,000

by Jordan Running on January 25, 2006 at 10:00 AM

Engadget HTPCOur pal Eliot Phillips over at Engadget has written an awesome how-to on building a practical Home Theater PC for about $1,000. The end result is a beautiful black Pentium 4 machine with a gig of DDR2 RAM, 250GB of SATA storage rounded out by and a nice Hauppauge dual-tuner card with on-chip MPEG2 encoding and a MythTV install. If you want a solid HTPC without spending a fortune, listen to Eliot, he know his stuff.
