Could you recommend a spec for a HTPC that meets these requirements..
Smallish case (upto video recorder size) - preferably silver rather than black..
Cheap (under £300 excluding OS)
s-video out(for connection to a CRT)
s-video in (I assume that most tuner cards have these as standard)
Audio out via s/pdif co-ax or optical (for connection to my exisiting surround sound system)
1 digital tuner (for Freeview)
1 analogue tuner (for Sky box)
1 modem (yes - still using dial-up but will be going broadband eventually!!)
System will not be used for gaming (I have a system that does that already) - therefore on-board graphics OK. System does not need to be silent (who watches TV in silence?!) and will be used for digital recording and web-browsing / e-mail
