I am looking to 'cut the cable' and build my first HTPC. The myriad options are making me blind, so I have a few requirements as to what I want it to do.
Can someone give me some guidance with parts and components, e.g. tuner cards, video component requirements for different rooms, graphics cards, etc.? I won't be doing the top level gaming, but I want to run some of the newer games.
Additionally, I would like to keep this priced moderately if at all possible. Thanks in advance for the help.
Watch local HD OTA channels and tune through the HTPC
Record programs simultaneously while viewing others
Have access to live programs, streaming video and recorded programs from three different rooms
Have remote control access from three rooms
Play PC RPG games from different rooms
Be compatible with Hulu, Netflix, etc., and record from those, if possible.
Connect to a small amp/speaker system in the main room
