I know I asked this before, but I want to make a PC into a HD Satilite recorder. I read the article, but I'm still wondering. Becuase I saw a few mother boards with optical audio in\out plugs and high def video cards blah blahhh blahhhh

So do I need a high def videocard to play back stuff I recorded ..... ect ect.....

Could sombody who knows this stuff, or have read the articles on how to build one, build me a computer... that will DO THIS JOB

I was thinking like a sempron or somthing similar.... maybe even an older athlon 64. 512 or 1 gb of ram?... see I'm not sure how much I'd need.

Could you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
 
I'd get something like a 2 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM.

Athlon 64 3400+ $60

Any cheap CD/DVD combo drive -$15

Any cheap case/PSU combo - $50

With software, it should total out at around $500. Obviously, you can get cheaper parts for pretty much any of the above.
 
i already have windows media edition 05 and other programs needed for the job. + i have case and psu and a CD drive, so i'm all set :)
