    Perfect $1500 Rig

    So I should adjust the cost of midlevel HTPC by 300. I should probably check whether there is enough space?

    Perfect $1500 Rig

    Hey so I just took a look at your thread. Building the midranged box you spec'ed out would be pretty neat. It would have bluray, and I could try to manage my cable box's DVR through it, not only saving some money (50-100/yr), but being pretty overall neat. Assuming I build the rig, I could...
