I am thinking about building a media server for my home network mostly for watching movies but I might also want to create a DVR. I have seen an HP ready made media server and that would obviously save time. It runs about $750 with 1 tb of hard drive space (2x 500gb).
Opinions?

dude that sounds like a great deal, not knowing all the specs of it. Though it's fun to build em, that might be a deal too good to pass up!
Esp if the vid stuff is preconfigured, fuhgeddaboutit

Just comparing that wiht my local retailer who has a pc with:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Socket-AM2 Boxed MSI K9AGM3-F AM2 AMD 690V DDR2 VGA 1024 MB Apacer DDR2/667 Dimm 2x WD 500 GB S-ATA-II U300 7200RPM 16MB NEC AD5200A DVD±RW Dual Layer OEM zwart XFX GeForce 8400GS 256MB tot 512MB DDR2 Fortron Source 350W PSU ATX 2.0 Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyb. OEM USB Zw Microsoft Optical Basic Mouse OEM Zwart For just 567,95 Euro's - well thats a few million dollars by today's exchange rates - it seems a lot more computer for a bit more money
