    Default What you think of this computer?

    Ok
    Well my dad's friend has asked me to build a media centre pc for him for £500.
    By media centre, he wants to download movies, watch tv and be able to watch HD movies (not bluray discs, downloaded hd movies)

    This is what i came up with:

    Motherboard - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148024 - £61.38

    RAM - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/119223 - £28.55
    DVD RW - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149319 - £19.72
    GFX Card - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151393 - £89.99
    TV Tuner - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/113946 - £53.64
    2x 80mm Fan - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/23880 - £2.90

    Yes, looks like a pretty good choice of parts. My only (slight) concern is noise. At a guess, i'd say that PSU made a fair bit of noise, and i'm not sure about the noise level of them fans? People with media centre PCs usuallly want them quiet. Also, is the case appropriate for it's use? Would a bright light flashy thing under a TV look right or distract the person using it/annoy them from the corner of their eye?

    What about an OS as well? Or is that already taken care of?
