Hi All,

I want to replace my knackered video player with either a Freeview HD box (With twin tuners) or a bare bones PC.

The barebones PC would be ideal and I have looked at them before but I was wondering what sort of specification I should be looking at.

Requirements are:

Output to TV
Twin Freeview/Digital Tuners
Large HD for MP3's.
MCE 2005

I'll probably use it for a bit of web surfing but mainly it would be used for playing mp3's/divx etc/

What else should I look for? And how much will it all cost? Ideally I wouldn't want to spend over £500 on the PC.

Or would I be better of getting a £200 Freeview HD recorder and buying an external HD for my laptop which could store my MP3's + a cable to connect my laptop to my hifi??
