Here you have two considerations: size and what matches your processor. But if you are buying a new CPU to use in an MCE box, get a Pentium D – it’s a dual core P4 and it will do a great job with the MCE type tasks.

The advantage of the Athlon’s, specifically the Athlon 64 chips is that they run much cooler then P4s (in general) especially with Cool’n Quiet enabled.īasically any CPU in this range will work, and building an MCE box is a great excuse to upgrade your current rig. The reason is that the P4’s long pipelines make it faster in media encoding, and the P4s are hyperthreaded so they will have a higher level of usability and less stutters. In terms of specific CPUs, P4s tend to be a little bit better then AthlonXP/ Athlon64 chips for HTPC boxes. Of course you can get away with much less, but these are the basic guidelines. The basic guideline for CPU is 2.0ghz+ for a box that is doing SD content, 3.0ghz+ for HD content. My HD signal comes in from an antenna mounted on my roof and is crystal clear. In the future I’ll probably add an additional HDTV tuner so that I can watch and record two different HDTV channels.

This way I can record one SD show & one HD show at the same time. My box has two tuners: an ATi 550Pro SD Tuner and an Avermedia A180 OEM HDTV tuner. Sound output is using the optical out off the onboard sound on the motherboard.

In case you didn’t know the only difference between DVI and HDMI is that HDMI has audio on the same cable, so you can easly go from one standard to the other. It currently outputs to my HDTV via a DVI->HDMI cable at 1080i. I’m running an Nvidia GeForce 6200 AGP board w/ DVI and Component output options. It’s in an Antec Overture II case with a Zalman 7700ClAu CPU cooler that’s throttled by the motherboard. I’ve got a P4 3.0Ghz on an Abit Intel 875 based motherboard, gigabit CLA Intel NIC, 1 GB of DDR 400, 2x 160gig Seagate Drives in RAID 0, and an NEC DVD burner.

One of the more common things done is to set it up as a PC for you’re wife or kids to use to surf the net and the what not, as they aren’t likely to be affected by the MCE functions.įirst off, let me describe my setup. Of course it does require the PC to be on all the time, but most people do that anyway. If you aren’t playing games on the box chances are you won’t notice this one bit. The basic idea is that you can use you’re PC like you normally would, but it will record TV in the background and open up background streams out to the media extender boxes.

With the rising prevalence of dual cores and the fact that the Xbox 360 will work out of box as a HD Media Extender this is becoming a more attractive option.

Of course you can always take it as opportunities to upgrade your current PC and throw the remains in a box. The down side is that you have to build an extra PC and as it turns out those aren’t free. You won’t have to worry about a recording, or someone else in the house watching a show when you’re playing a game and slowing down you’re system and you won’t have to mess around with trying to get a single over to your TV.

The advantage here is that you have a computer that is dedicated to MCE so it will get, bar none, the best performance when using MCE. Windows Media Center Edition 2005 OEM is about $115 or so, and doesn’t require any additional subscriptions to Guide data or any other additional costs: There are two ways to go about building an MCE 2005 box: use a standalone PC hooked into an entertainment system that is dedicated to being just an MCE box or use a standard use PC that runs MCE and having it hooked to a TV with long cables or using a Media Center Extender (or an Xbox or Xbox 360).

At its heart MCE 2005 is just Windows XP Pro w/ a couple extra apps & services designed to record and view multimedia sources.
