System builder's guide

Posted on Sunday, May 04 2008 @ 10:15 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
A lot of new hardware has already been released in the first couple of months of this year and that doesn't really make it easy for someone to create the perfect computer system as it can sometimes be hard to see the forest for the trees. Fortunately The Tech Report offers some help by publishing a new edition of their system guide.
Naturally, these new products feature heavily in our latest system guide, which packs more goodness than ever before. We've revamped everything from our Econobox, which now offers loads of gaming power for just over 500 bucks, to our Double-Stuff workstation, which packs more parallelism than should be allowed by law. Between them, our Grand Experiment and Sweet Spot configs offer tremendous power for their respective price points. We've even included a fifth system this time around: the Couch Potato Mk. 2. This latest take on the ultimate home theater PC combines HD tuning capabilities with Blu-ray playback support all wrapped up in a quiet, power-efficient package. Keep reading to see which components made the cut for our recommended system configurations, and more importantly, why we selected them.
