I've been using Windows7 Ultimate on a couple of my laptops and it's remarkable how good it runs so I finally decided to pull the trigger and buy a new HTPC that'll run Win7 at home. Of course, my main priority is to be cheap and efficient running/recording HD vid content. I'm not into gaming but the occasional FlighSim app.
I'm thinking on getting this
barebone and this
TVTuner card.
Any other recommendations particularly w/ TVTuner cards and/or maybe a cheap external blu-ray player. The PC in going to reside in an utility room so I don't really care about power supply noises or aesthetics.
