That one is interesting. It looks like a typical MATX mobo so it would be possible to swap it out (and keep the niffty case
) for a Core2 or AM2 mobo. Personally I won't touch Intel unless it's a C2D but thats me. Ladicius said:How does your outdated computer do with HDTV? I am trying to turn my old outdated one into a simple HDTV HTPC.
i dont really know. Right now i have it setup just to do my SD cable channels. I have an ATSC (i think thats it, the OTA hd tuner) in my tv. Judging by the way it does when i am trying to record a program and view another one, i dont think it would do very good.
But i am debating getting a better HD antenna for my attic and getting an HD tuner for my main computer (P4 3.6ghz 1.5gig ram 10,000 RPM SATA HDD and an Ati x700 pro 256mb). I think that should do just fine with HD, ill have to get another monitor and find some way to mount it over my Dell 2405fpw though.
