Hello,

I would like to build a computer that I can run my movies on to my LCD TV. I just don't know what I need to put in one to do this. It would be a dedicated computer, so there would be no need to have it up to spec for playing games on.

My requirements are:

1) A case that goes well with a home theater set up

2) A large hard drive with the ability to expand (one 500 Gig to start with ability to add more)

3) A video card that can send out a 1080p HD signal. HDMI output prefered.

4) I would like it to be relatively quiet.

5) O/S required

6) No monitor or speaker system.

7) Wireless keyboard and mouse

8) Wireless Internet

9) Latest Surround sound compatibility (7.1 I think)

10) Start with normal DVD drive, but should be upgradeable to Blu-Ray

11) $1000 max, but as cheap as possible.

Again, I am only looking for something to play movies on my big screen tv and to store my movie collection.

What're the max demensions you're looking at?  There's some rather nice small ones, or larger ones out there.  :]
