  Build Your Own Media Center PC, Part 1
Subject:   OVER PRICED!!

I think this whole system is way over priced.
You could build a similar or better system for half the price. I used one of my old 550mhz systems with just 380mb ram,hauppauge 350 with remote and SageTV. SageTV downloads your cable tv schedule for the next 14 days. I don't think Windows Media Center does that. Plus if you are using a Hauppauge card that has its own encoder and decoder than you don't need a fast pc with a lot of ram. You can spend your money in better places like more hard drive space. Also if you really want to get cheap. SageTV runs on Linux now so you don't even have to buy an OS!
