DIY Windows Home Theatre PC

"Windows (MCE) 2005 offers an attractive, easy-to-use interface combined with hardware support that makes it easier to build an HTPC that is a true media box: TV recording with time shifting and channel guide, streaming audio, DVD-recording and DVD-playback, radio, web browsing, along with all the functions of a standard PC. Truly functional channel guides and intelligent recording are things that TiVo and ReplayTV users are long familiar with. Today's cheap hard drive space mean many hours of video can be recorded, which makes the replacement of the VCR both practical and extremely attractive."
ArsTechnica have compiled a list of the components you need to build a pimpin' "Hot Rod" and a low-end "Budget Box" depending on how much money you've got in your pocket for building your own HTPC. Left for you to do, is printing out the shopping list, buying the components and building the PC. ;)
