Hi, Randy:

I am thinking to build a HTPC myself soon. Could you please share some infromation of the parts you bought for your HTPC?

Thanks,

I'm not Randy but I love to chime in when I hear the magic word ' HTPC '

In my opinion, HTPC > all other upconverting players. The reason I say that is in addition to getting a killer upconverting DVD player, a HTPC also gives you the bonus of postprocessing on other media like TV (live or recorded), other videos, etc.

From my personal experiences I would go with Nvidia's solution. In a nutshell any GeForce 6X00 or 7X00 along with Nvidia's DVD decoder will give you all the postproccessing features that equate to an upconverting DVD player (or better). Nvidia is always adding new features to their cards and right now the new 7600 has the best of those features. I *only* have a 6600 and I can still say DVD's look WAY better than I ever dreamed they could on my DLP.
