Help Locate a Source for HTPC... (1 Viewer)

Has anyone located a source to purchase a HTPC "pre-configured" from a manufacturer?

I just don't have the time to assemble all the components.

Thanks in advance.

www.digitalconnection.com and www.psivideo.com are well known. If you have experience building PCs, I would consider a DIY job, you save a boatload of money.

I have experience with PC's, just not with HTPC's.

I guess I had better read some more on the equipment and figure out what I need. When I have an idea of what to buy, I'm sure I could assemble it.

a great place for info about htpc's is at AVS Forum. they've got a forum dedicated for just this stuff.
i think vince maskeeper once posted some good info on this...i think he has a htpc setup himself. sorry, but i couldn't find it.
