Most CPU's will have the horsepower need to decode H.264 and VC-1, the formats found on BR and HD-DVD. However, if you want to remove some of the load off the CPU, look for cards from NVidia featuring Pure-video, and ATI featuring Avivo.

You can play movies on XP. Download the BD advisor from cyberlink to give you an idea of what you need. If you already have a vid card of some kind that is HDCP compatible, you may not need anything else other than a Blu-ray reader drive, ~$110 at newegg currently.

2GB should be sufficient, especially considering that if you are running a 32 bit OS, you'll only be able to take advantage of 3gb.

2GB of memory will be enough. I wouldn't rush out and buy Vista unless you are getting a new system, XP is fine. If you do want Vista, get Home Premium.

maybe if you have time you could go more into depth with hooking it up to your vga card to your tv and show what resolutions need to be set etc.
My TV actually ... ( 1 month ago by realhtinfo)
My TV actually doesn't have a VGA port (though most newer ones do), however it does have component and DVI ports, which most modern cards should output on (usually over dongle for component). As for resolutions, the newer drivers from both nVidia and ATI offer, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, despite these being non-PC resolutions. You should try to feed your TV whatever the native resolution is (check your manual).
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for replying.
Australia's only just started to play around with htpcs so its quite exciting indeed.

My knowledge is pretty US-centric, but assuming your resolutions are 720/1080, that latest drivers should work for you. Good luck, and thanks for watching.

I like the Antec NSK2400. Youtube won't let m post links, but a google search will turn up reviews.
Of course, you can put any case on it's side with little adverse effect. It just might not look as nice.

-Cool, quiet, low-power components
-HDCP Compatibility via DVI or use component video
-I did not use a Tuner/capture card because I use mostly netflix/internet content.
Many folks look at the standard case and say this can't be an HTPC because it doesn't look like stand-alone AV equipment. Using an AV style case with a bunch of hot/loud components is the furthest thing from what you want in an HTPC. I went with a 50 case tha may not look like a marketed "HTPC", but sure functions like one.
