I am looking to build or buy a PC that i can keep on my server rack in my basement but use my bedroom TV as a secondary monitor. I also want to store all my media on this PC that i can access from my network. My main reason for even thinking of this is as of now my Google TV and Boxee Box are disappointing me with their need for Flash updates that may never come and the lack of a decent HBOGO app on either. I currently use Netflix and HULU plus for most of my content but I want to look into a tuner and an antenna to get OTA channels. So I guess my question is what way do I go? Should I just build a PC with a tuner and HD output, I dont think I need a dedicated media server but maybe something more than a HTPC.. And do I need a newer faster computer or should I try to put something together with the spare parts I have from old CCTV recording PCs with Pentium 4 processors? really any guidance anyone can offer would be great... :-\
