I was wanting to turn one of my old PC/Servers into a media computer for my living room. Its going to play MP3, DIVx and be used to digitize old VHS and stuff like this. The monitor is going to be the TV, so I am looking at somthing that will at least play movies on the TV with some good quality.
I am thinking I will prob need a all in wonder due to the fact I need a Vid card that outputs to a TV and a good TV tuner. I am also wanting to record stuff from both cable and old VHS so I want a tuner that can record these with good quality.
My Mobo that I want to use is a Asus P3C-D that is going to be upgraded, what speed procs would you guys recomend? Also the memory needs to be upgraded and I dont really want to buy alot of RDRAM but I (thinkl) Ive seen RDRAM => SDRAM converters somewhere so if anyone knows where to get those that would be awesome.

Forgot the questions
what Vid/TV cards, CPUs and amount of Mem would you guys recomend.

That turned out to be a long post.
Thanks for reading it and any help.
