I currently have a Win7 computer that i use soley as an HTPC. It's about 3 years old.
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 Wolfdale 2.66GH
4GB DDR2 800
Onboard NVIDIA GeForce 7150
It plays the recorded TV in 1080 beautifully. I'd like to add a blu ray play, but only if it can be a matter of popping the disc in and playing it in media center.
I'd probably get a drive similar to this that comes with powerdvd, which i believe has the codec i'd need to play it through media center.

Does this sound about right? I do not want to bother with ripping/etc. I just want to put the disc in and press play on my MCE remote, just like I do with a DVD now. Thanks!
