Requirements are:
Smaller the case the better, quieter the better.
Ability to record 2 shows while watching another.
Ability to record HD and playback HD.
Wireless card to connect to home network.
Blu-Ray drive would be nice.
Larger HD would be nice for storing t.v. shows recorded.
My current setup consists of:
37 inch LCD television (1080i)
Older Panasonic 5.1 home theater system (may replace with good computer speakers)
Motorola DVR supplied by cable company, and my P.C.
My first selections, open to revision.

I may scrap blu-ray drive in order to upgrade, thought it would be nice for modern system. My t.v. also doesn't get 1080p, so alternate build without may be looked into.
Ideally, cheaper the better but if it gets to costly to do what I want and ensure good quality, I may scrap the idea. Don't want to end up spending the money to regret it. Or will buy a tivo, lol.
Thanks.
