Hoping, I am not posting this question in the wrong forum but I wanted to know why would I want/need to build/buy an HTPC? My general understanding is that I can stream video content to LCD Monitor/TV with this type of setup. Is that it? or am I missing something?
Second, If I do decide to have an HTPC setup then can that machine be used to play games?
Third, would you suggest/recommend LCD TV/Monitor, obviously I want to use one screen for both watching TV & using the PC. I am thinking in the 42" range or below.
Lastly, please suggest possible parts for building such machine, especially the core parts (CPU, Mobo, MEM, PSU, Case, Heatsink, Vid Card etc...)
Thanks a bunch for the reply.
