Hi all,

I want to finally buy a desktop to complement my TR.  My TR is getting pretty slow and not very good in video encoding anymore even though i have 1 GB RAM.  so now I am going to semi-retire TR and use TR only for browsing, etc.

Now I am looking for small form factor desktop like shuttle XPC.  What i want to build is a reasonable dual core processor with a HDTV tuner so I can hook it up to my room HDTV.  I would assume the HDTV tuner can take OTA antenna as I am planning to use OTA antenna instead of subscribing cable.

What are the good small form factor desktop other than Shuttle?  The smaller the better, but not a laptop.  My budget is $1000.  I can build it myself (which means cost saving on OS as I have XP), but if the cost saving of DIY vs ready to buy is only like $100, then I would prefer to buy a ready to go.

Thanks.
