A small HTPC for my home office.

This needs to be really small. I currently don't have satellite but may subscribe again at some point. Right now I basically want to record regular tv shows and be able to watch them at a later date. Also run Netflix, bluray, and dvds.

I know almost nothing about putting one of these together or what I will need. Any help would be appreciated. Also looking to do this as cheap as possible.

My current setup is here sitting on my desk: 24" LG 1080p hooked up to my computer (old Gateway GT5040).

Thanks for any input.
 
Just a rough build:
$72 - Intel Pentium G850 CPU
$80 - Biostar TH61 ITX mITX Motherboard
$34 - G.Skill Value Series F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$120 - Samsung Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$40 - Antec Earthwatts Green EA380D 380W PSU
$60 - Coolermaster Elite 120 Advanced mITX Case
$110 - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 1229 PCI-E x1 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder w/MCE Remote
$100 - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit OEM

Total: $616 plus tax and shipping.
