Hello,

I would like to build a computer that I can run my movies on to my LCD TV. I just don't know what I need to put in one to do this. It would be a dedicated computer, so there would be no need to have it up to spec for playing games on.

My requirements are:

1) A case that goes well with a home theater set up

2) A large hard drive with the ability to expand (one 500 Gig to start with ability to add more)

3) A video card that can send out a 1080p HD signal. HDMI output prefered.

4) I would like it to be relatively quiet.

5) O/S required

6) No monitor or speaker system.

7) Wireless keyboard and mouse

8) Wireless Internet

9) Latest Surround sound compatibility (7.1 I think)

10) Start with normal DVD drive, but should be upgradeable to Blu-Ray

11) $1000 max, but as cheap as possible.

Again, I am only looking for something to play movies on my big screen tv and to store my movie collection.

Thanks in advance,

Corey
