Using Regular PC into a Home Theater PC
If you have an old or unused computer, you might not have to buy a separate HTPC unless you really need the energy and space saving features. All you need to do is check what GPU your home cinema PC is using. If there is a video card inside, example the ports and see if it is possible to hook it up to your display. Older TV models have an S-Video port or D-sub which lets you output video from the computer. However, it is best to use the HDMI port so you can use the TV's speakers without needing an extra cable. If you do not plan to do some hardcore gaming, you can get an inexpensive low-end graphics card with an HDMI port and you are all set. With that graphics card alone, your system should be far more powerful than the average HTPC.
Deciding you budget is the least enjoyable part creating a home theater but it is the easiest. You either have money available or you don't. Although some may argue a home theater adds value to your home, go at this process as a hobby, do not expect to get back anywhere near what you invest. You will have to make sacrifices and you will wish you had more money. Start off by deciding how much you have to spend, make sure to consider the cost of subscription services like TiVo and CATV. Next split up the budget into categories. A suggestion is to begin with, construction, seating, lighting, video, audio and other. You can also add a Home Theater PC to you list if you want to enter that world. Finally, decide what product types you want, maybe you don't know yet, that is fine just be aware that you will need to spend a considerable amount of your budget on audio, it often goes overlooked. Enjoy the research and make sure you get a good deal, find the products you want, wait for them to go on sale, and make the theater of your dreams
