I'm trying to put together a wish list for the parts needed for an HTPC just so I can determine the cost. The only problem is that I'm not sure what to look for when purchasing each component.

I have an old pc which I plan on upgrading to view hd shows, record at least two shows and possibly hook up to a projector later on. Can anyone give me some pointers or resources to help?

Cheers.
