Hi all
Im looking to build a htpc to go on a sony 50" tv.
I was wondering if once i have that set up, will my old pc will become redundant and ill mainly use the htpc (browsing, gaming etc)


do you have both a pc for gaming and another as htpc do you combine them and have just one ?

will it be useable on a 50" screen with a wireless keyboard/mouse as a normal pc ?

im just trying to work out what parts to buy (a whole new box) or just upgrage my existing box and use that instead

thank you please

im about to upgrade my current setup and what i plan to do is get a silverstone case and put the compnents i already have in that, put it under the tele and connect to the tele with a vga cable and optical out to the av amp, wireless keyboard and mouse.

The main pc i use for gaming, internet and works stuff, the htpc i'll just use for thngs like media centre, maybe more fun games like emulator stuff and platform and race games.
