Will be Building a few of these and just wanted to get some input from the community before I did.
Basic requirements are ATSC/NTSC or Ceton tuner (once it is finally released) at least 2 SATA drives, and NVIDIA for gfx acceleration. As to the rest, it doesn't make too much of a difference does it? I'm just looking for the cheapest system and think pre-built is probably the way to go. So far I've looked at some refurbished Acer, HP and Dell small form factor PCs and think they are most cost effective as they provide a decent case, SATA and PCIe.
Could I do this off a refurbished Dell gx620? If you've done something similar please chime in.
