    I'm looking to a pre-built HTPC.

    What I require is:
    Dual tuner with DVB-S & DVB-T
    4tb sata hard drive
    Wireless internet connection
    and all the other bells and whistles to make it run.
    bluray would be nice depending on cost.
    It doesn't have to be in any fancy casing as it will be in home office.

    Regards,

    \o. :)

    Okay, some questions to start the fun:

    Budget?
    What will you be doing with it aside from HTPC stuff?
    Do you want/need iMon or remote capability regardless of case or the office environment?
    When you say "dual DVB" do you mean a card with one DVB-S and one DVB-T, or one that really does have two of each?! :eek:
    Hoiw vital is the BluRay? A BD-ROM will add €50+, €70+ if you need a seperate DVD burner :o

    Ok, I know what I want but don't know how to get it or even the right terminology.:pac:

    basically I want a crossover NAS / HTPC

    Budget - ideally no more than €600. I'm flexable on the blu-ray and maybe dropping to 2tb with the option of expansion later.

    Do you want/need iMon or remote capability regardless of case?
    I don't know what iMon is? so I don't know if I want it of not:confused:
    I do what remote capability.

    I am thinking of something like this http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055950548

    Blu ray would be nice but the least of my priorities.

    Thanks
