I did forget about the CCD boot drive, good idea, I use the Xbox360 to
stream recorded TV to my 52” plasma so the computer noise is not a problem
it’s in my home office and the Xbox is networked to the living room.

+1 - where do you get x16 TV tuner cards? And why would anyone make one
when the bandwidth through a x1 slot or even a USB port is sufficient?

I agree with the others. Build it. Do some (or a lot of) research on
components, buy them from Newegg or Amazon (Amazon's return policies can't
be beat), and assemble it. I also agree with the SSD recommendation for
the OS and applications. You don't need anything very large - 80 or 120 GB
will
I would go to Tiger Direct, or Newegg, or Directron, and purchase the
parts separately. You'll end up paying much less than trying to
customize an off-the-shelf PC. If not that, then you'll need to contact
one of the performance PC makers, and get them to custom build a system
for you.
>>> Stefa
buy the parts through newegg and build it yourself -- save a few hundred
dollars, and utilize individual part warranties

Build it. Your specs sound like they'd be about $1200 + OS. I would also
recommend against a tuner in an x16 slot – tuner cards are almost all x1
anyways, so why waste a second x16 slot on one?

Whichever PC you get, put an SSD in it. You can have all the RAM and processor
you want, but you'll really notice a difference with an SSD drive booting
Windows in 5 seconds...:)
