I am in the market for a good Media Center PC. I’ll be getting dish network soon, and I wanted to be able to record the programs without having to pay for their digital recorder. Anyone make any recommendatons?

    This is one of those questions with no right or wrong answer! Try a site such as:

    or a couple of review sites. Most companies make media PCs now, it depends on the setup that fits your needs, in terms of functions (like recording), whether you want a separate screen or use your TV (HP Touchsmart have their own touchscreen), whether you’d use it for other applications and so on.

    I am looking to buy one myself soon. What I’ve been doing is just google searching for media pc, or looking at the main PC maker’s websites. Once I’ve found a couple of model names/numbers I search them on google/amazon and look at reviews, specs and prices.

    Good luck!
