OK so I finally got around to setting up a computer near my entertainment center. The main reason was to try out TriDef 3D (http://www.ddd.com/) software on my Samsung DLP (which works quite well by the way). Then I got to thinking that I could probably use this computer as an HTPC.
It's an AMD64 3800+ (2.0 GHZ) with a GeForce 8600GT Video card and Windows Vista Ultimate. Should be powerful enough and it doesn't have any trouble with 1080p video.
Just curious, what do you use your HTPC for? I have some ideas but I wanted to see what others are doing before I start really working on this.
Thanks.
P.S - Yes, I did look at AVS. Lots of good info there but just wanted to ask here to get more input.
