Burner Native
Are you better off with a stand alone setup or HTPC setup for HD at this point?
I have a HTPC with about 400 DVDs in ISO & Divx format on hard drive.
I recently upgraded my 27" TV to a 92" DLP 720p projector.
I am wondering if I am better off just getting one of these sub $200 HD DVD players for a year or so and adding an HD DVD drive and the components (CPU and Vid card) that I need in a year or two when they are much cheaper . The deal where you get 5 movies in the mail is really enticing for the standalones.
Antec HTPC Case
Jetway Socket 775 Mootherboard
3.33 Celeron 356 D
XFC 256 MB Nvidia 6200 AGP
PCI Montego Sound card with optical out
2 GB PC2-5400 DDR2
Windows XP SP2
16x DVD DL RW+/- burner
2xWD SATA/300 500GB HDs
1xMaxtor ATA/100 320GB HD
Microsoft Wireless keyboard and mouse (I prefer the mouse to a remote)
ACER PH530 DLP 720p (1280x720 native) front end projector
92" screen
Onkyo 600 5.1 surround sound system (DTS & DDS 5.1 with optical and coaxial in) small living and don't need 7.1
Nice rig. Looks like you can afford to go ahead and get the player so why not.
