This is why I never got rid of my HTPC. The price just keeps getting lower as months pass by.

I've built my 3rd pc for my relatives & they couldn't be any happier, given flexibility. $600 for everything, including Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Maybe by year's end, a person can build a FULL-BLOWN HTPC, for the price of a single 40gb PS3- $400 & change.

breakdown

- amd 64 x2 5000 cpu 65w = $90
- mobo w/ built-in hdmi 5.1 dolby surround & ati videocard (full hd avivo 720p) = $110
- 2gb OCZ ram = $40
- 500gb internal sata = $100
- br/hd-dvd internal sata = $160
- micro-atx blk case = $20 after rebate
- thermaltake silent PSU = free after rebate
- rocketfish bluetooth kb/mouse = $40 (refurb, ebay)
- ati hd 2600xt hdmi full 1080p upgrade = $40 (new, ebay)... <optional>
