rob. as i was researching to buy a media center pc it quickly became clear to me that i didnt know enough about the issue to simply buy....and get a pc to do what i need it to do for today and the future. then i came across your site.. with that said i purchased your book today and now im looking to build a pc to the specs you have laid out. however i have a couple of questions on the vidio card. my computer will hooked to my hdtvs in the house (2 total, 1 in the living room and 1 in the bedroom) this will be the major task of my pc to manage my media. streaming internet vidio... recording and playback of tv programming including cable and over the air... and storing and burnig media (gaming is of no interest to me) so #1 do i need such a powerful vidio card ans #2 can u recommend a dual tv tuner card.... THANK FOR ANY AND ALL HELP GIVEN AS I AM VERY COMPUTER ILLITERATE. also a hdmi output on the vidio card would be helpful.
