Define a "full HTPC" please.
A full on computer you hook up to your TV.
Even though they got bought by Google, dedicated box = SageTV extenders for me! I cring at the thought of going back to full PC's or having to run XBOX360's on 4 TVs in the house
HTPC = home theater PC, PC=personal computer. Any HTPC is a full-on computer (one could question that that means since those other boxes are computers too, just not general purpose).
I thought you were trying to draw a distinction between what the HTPC was intended to do, like play hard-core games or just stream movies. Those have very different requirements and thus the HTPC will have different components.
What exactly are you nitpicking? Option one is for people who have hooked up a computer to their TV. I don't give a shit how it's configured.
Dude....almost every post in the subforum is on HTPCs ==> full on computers. That's what HTPCs are. So you can expect that almost all of the responses are going to be the first option.
Fixed.yeah, an htpc by definition is a "full on computer."
the other things are just toys for children.
Fixed.
BTW, Farscapesg1, using Sage plus an extender still counts since Sage's extenders were pretty damn awesome (HD 2000, 3000).

love my htpc. I don't think you can get the most out of an HTPC without having the flexibility of a computer.
