RE: HOME THEATER PC - How to Build a Silent 4K ready HTPC for less than $300 - PART 1

in #technology8 years ago

It seems like you know how to work your way around to make a pretty sweet budget home theatre PC.
I'm terrible with computers so most of the time I get all in one setups but that probably worse than making a computer yourself.
Since you're using an Intel Celeron it probably would be a good idea to use Windows 7. The UI for windows 7 isn't too bad as well as (despite the fact microsoft has tried to optimise it) windows 10 has been known for its stutters and lag.
Is Private Internet Access good? I tend to use Zenmate or expressvpn but I haven't looked into many smaller ones.
Thanks for all these tips and suggestions @surfyogi. Followed.

Well, that's excellent advice, and I planned to cover that in part 2.

Win7 is better, and one reason is you can have Windows Media Center running, and use a Network Attached Tuner with it (HomeRun device).

Another reason is Win7 is far easier to control when it does UPDATES!

What about windows 10 ? @surfyogi

PIA is great. I like how many servers it has available.
But it's the only one I've ever used.
You should do an article on the VPNs you are familiar with, and I'll review PIA.
