Hi
I have an LG lcd tv in my living room. I'm looking to buy a PC to provide internet access, play/store music and maybe a couple of other bits and pieces.

Couple of questions
1) Any tips on what kind of PC to buy for these needs?
2) Will there be any problem displaying the picture on the TV? My tv has a PC setting but will the quality be diminished etc?

Would appreciate any help people could provide.

Cheers
Paul

Can't answer the quality, but my guess would be there would be good quality. You will need a media PC and most preferrably a quiet one (since it will be in the LR). I would suggest a home built so you can get the features you want.l

If you can't fix it, blow it up and deny that you saw anything.

I recommend shuttle products for such a setup (amd will run cooler/quieter). Throw in a dual layer burner, a digital tv tuner and a whopping big hard drive, cpu, ram and bobs your uncle.

Interfacing with such a pc can be a bitch so a tv tuner with a good remote would be essential. And do your research on the tv tuner. This is the most critical aspect of the system. Also consider if the pc has all the appropriate sound outputs you need / will need in the future.
