I am after using up a case and motherboard+cpu to make a High Definition DVD player only PC. Need some recomendations as to a decent low budget DVD drive that will play HD video. Also what Graphics card would be best suited to the job.
Any minimum requirements for cpu and ram to run it.

Have a look on www.ebuyer.com, any branded HD DVD will be fine.

As for GFX cards any with DVI output should perform perfectly.

Thankyou for that info.
Appreciated
Have seen some DVD readers stating Blu-Ray with HD as well so hopefully the technology is capable of reading both.
That's where I am unsure. (compatability.)
HD was publisized as the one to dominate, but it seems Blu-Ray may be the leader, obviously time will tell.
Just like VHS, Beta Max and V2000 formats and of course the shortlived Lazerdisc.
Any way now will start looking for a reasonable DVD reader, have seen a few.
Was hoping someone had made one up or new the current best specs to put one together.

Blu-ray is expensive and next to nothing is available on it.

Stick with HD for now.
