If you are building your own:

Internal Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB Hard Drive
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=320625 9&Sku=TSD-500AS4

Video Card (Includes TV Tuner I think.:XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=304855 2&Sku=P450-8650

Total: $ 746.89

Add fans or other stuff. The case MIGHT be a little too big.



The request was a for Media Center PC not a "bling bling", bells and whistles gaming rig.

BTW Tigerdirect is a great way to go.

That processor + mobo combination is also not available anymore so go a different route.

To save a little just go with a slightly lower powered Core2Duo. No need to pick the E6750.

For HDD go Western Digital or Seagate. I find Seagate's are costing less lately, agressive pricing IMHO.
