So my friend recently gifted me a Asus M4A7BT-E + Phenom II X4 965 (I think) left over from a previous setup. Since recently cutting cable, I've decided to put together an HTPC for recording OTA TV, and general movie watching. Since it's an ATX board, there seems to be a more limited field of...
So, here's the story gents. This X-mas I purchased the Roku 2 XS for my mother since she's a huge fan of Netflix. She's been only is watching it on her laptop since her LCD TV doesn't have any internet capability, and their Sony BDP-350 didn't support Netflix.
