Silent PC for streaming in my livingroom
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 10:09 am
Hi, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'm trying to build an inexpensive, silent, Windows Media Center (Win 7) PC for my living room. All it needs to do is record antennae broadcasts with a TV tuner card and push the recording back to my main PC's hard drive.
I'd also like it to stream content from my main PC (using Windows Media Center) in addition to Steam streaming for gaming (eventually, since it's still in Beta). I'll need HDMI output to my AV receiver, but I don't expect that to be a challenge.
I have a gigabit Ethernet switch, so no worries there.
Has anyone built something similar?
