My friend is redoing his livingroom, they moved in maybe a year ago and the living room was on the todo list for a while, well it's done and they need an entertainment system.
So heres what I picked out when he asked me to give him a hand. Opinions
Case & PS: SilverStone Lascala SST-LC11
Motherboard: ASUS A7N8X-VM/400
CPU: AMD Sempron 2500+
Memory: Corsair CMX512-3200XL
HardDrive: Western Digital 200GB WD2000JB
Optical: Lite-On SOHW-1633S
Video Card: PowerColor RADEON 9550
SoundCard: ChainTech AV-710
TV Card: PVR-150MCE
KeyBoard/Mouse: Logitech MX duo
Remote: Streamzap PC Remote
SoftWare:
Sage TV 2.1
Nvidia DVD Decoder
Comes to about $900.
Also, Other than upgrading what does the extra 200 get over a dvdrecording tivo with lifetime service? And, He needs a TV (rear projection) and surround sound system.
Person isn't very tech savy, so keeping it simple is good.
