I've been using an extra old Dell Latitude d620 notebook for my HTPC for a few years, and I won't bore you with some of the hows & whys, but I have a new machine mostly tuned up...
Intel i5 processor
basic intel motherboard
250gb samsung SSD (SSD is a must)
Win7 64bit
16 gig ram
nvidia gtx 750ti video card
(basic case/power supply/dvd-rw---probably slap a blu-ray in)
It's been a process... I'll spare some of the painful details butttt
& then about halfway into the superbowl I put in a TV tuner that I got years ago but never used... recorded the SB to the hard drive.
I've loaded all my video games & downloaded a bunch more, including facerig (I'm not a gamer but you wouldn't know that judging by this weekend)....... (xbox wireless controller adapter so the xbox controls work)..
