Ok, I want to build a rather cheap HTPC capable of the following:
- Record HD television
- View Blu-ray movies
- Edit and burn HD media to Blu-ray writeable discs
- Have an HDMI port to hook up to my HDTV
The raw specs don't concern me as much as being able to record and edit out commercials on HD recordings. I don't care about Intel or AMD, Dual Core or Quad, 32-bit or 64-bit so long as the computer can do these tasks in a relatively quick amount of time. I am looking to spend /- $700 but will obviously spend more if I have to.
I appreciate everyone's help, and thanks again!
