Small media center PC - Need help choosing the best parts - £300ish Budget
8 replies, posted
Ok my friend needs a small PC for a media center in her room that needs to do teh following:
Have enough storage for lots of music etc
Play Movies
Slight Gaming such as World Of Warcraft and Unreal Tournament at 1366x768 res
Be quick
Have HDMI
I did have alist for her but ebuyer decided to remove some of the stock thus delteing them from my list which we was going to order next week :frown:
So I need a list for a complete PC that includes mouse/keyboard(preferably wireless)/OS/Tower
It would be nice if it was small form factor but if it is cheaper for a bigger pc then that is ok, I managed to get a list around £300 so that is the target
Now PC builders do your magic!
You know, I was thinking I might not be getting WoW because I'd never leave the house again.
Never mind Mini-ITX is too expensive for that budget, I guess it must be AMD as they have cheaper mobo/cpu

Wow I will have a look at that but would have to buy a DVD drive for it.
I think I will tally up a ION build aswell as the ydo look quite good

Calculating the costs now probably went over though.
318.31
Let me edit it a bit to lower the price
Do you need a monitor?
No we dont need a monitor, a 32" TV is gonna be used for it :buddy:
Thanks btw!
Got it down to 318.31
If you want I can lower it more but performance would likely be affected.
That price is great! I had a look at a ION set up but we will most likely go with tha build, maybe choose a different case but thats up to her
Thanks again :buddy:
