I didn’t actually get time to post here whilst putting together the PC, but the final product is well worth investigating.

Well nearly 2 months have passed and I’m almost ready to start. Hopefully the final component will be turning up today and I’ll start putting together the PC next week

Sounds great, Colin, especially if you spell it out in simple terms and great detail! Anything too technical and I’ll be lost immediately…

This sounds like a really interesting project, Colin. I’ve just bought an HD DVD/Blu-ray combo drive myself (an LG “Super Multi Blue”). Unfortunately, the system I’m using at the moment is a Shuttle with only two SATA connectors on its motherboard, both of which are being used for hard drives, so I won’t be able to use it until I get a new machine this summer. Still, it’s great to have an affordable solution to HTPC Blu-ray and HD DVD playback - this was only 85 quid including VAT and shipping from Saverstore.com, and comes with PowerDVD for Blu-ray/HD DVD.

The Criterion news means that I’m riveted already Colin; bring it on.
