Yet another HTPC Build Question

[powertower]

Can anyone throw a quick list together of the cheapest HTPC build you can find that supports 1080i res? Just need mobo-cpu-case-memory-videocard if not onboard.

I'm broke but have so many movies on my TB drive. The video must have HDMI output. I've thrown a few builds together in a shopping cart but the people on [H]ardForum are much more resourceful than I.

Or I would buy used from fellow [H]form member....

Take a look at the dozens of build threads for a parts list.

lame...

get a matx AMD AM3 Nvidia 8200 series motherboard with HDMI $70
a AMD AM3 240 or 250 x2 for $50
2 sticks for DDR2 800 1gb
get 1 hard drive 80-500gb what ever you can get that is the fastest.....

grab a case you like and a quality PSU..... antec, OCZ, P&C, Corsair..... that is sub 500w

hehe, reminds me of this guy who was desperate for someone else to do the work for him, no matter how many times we had to spell his situation out for him.

pretty sure he gave up when i told him he had to email the MFR

I found the answer to his question with the easiest google search, but didn't want to give him the easy way out.

either RTFM, google or GTFO
