Hi,
My uncle has old intel P3 based PC which he is discarding. He asked if I need one, to which I have agreed, hoping to convert it into HTPC.
I don't have much idea on its other configuration. Configuration would be more on the lines which was there 5-6 years back. :S
Please let me what should I ensure there is present in this PC to convert it into HTPC.
My main use of HTPC will be:
1) Watching movies. (max 480-780P).
2) Internet browsing
3) Recording TV shows/ time shift ( I have hathway digital cable connection)
4) No gaming
At present I have 29" CRT flatron Samsung TV, to which it would like to connect HTPC. ( I hope we can connect HTPC to non flatron TVs also)
Please help/ advise....
