For a nice primer on what to look for component-wise and how to build a Home Theater PC (HTPC), have look a the following video by Marshall Guthrie of Real HT Info. Marshall does an excellent job of making the guide understandable for the average joe and even details which components he opted for to build his sub-$600 system. (See… it’s not that scary.) [via]
