Dedicated HTPC forum?

[Charlie98]

It seems like I'm seeing more and more HTPC questions sprinkled through the other technical forums (including mine...) How about a specific HTPC forum in H&T? HTPC's aren't really consumer products and require some amount of technology not readily seen in a regular PC (video output, sound cards, etc dedicated to video playback.)

I used to be over on HTPC Forum, but it's pretty much dead... I see posts from a month ago unanswered... and it seems like HTPC interest here at AT is pretty good.

I second this request. At one time you had a forum for SFF and Mobile but all the Laptop people took it over. However, I could point out that there is an Audio & Video home theater forum. There are a lot of side subjects in this area like HDTV, streaming boxes, TV/satelite Cards, Audio receivers, speakers, projection systems, Screens, etc.

I know that's true, but I was thinking more of the hardware and technical aspects of HTPC; instead of listing a HTPC build in General Hdwr, or a HTPC-specific GPU question in VC&G, they could go into the HTPC forum. I would keep the AVHT forum, it serves it's purpose for most of those items listed above not directly related to an HTPC build/box, what would be end-user consumer items.

These are external links but they are kind of interesting for HTPC info.

This might make for some nice reading. They have lots of pictures too.

He is somewhat active here as well. I'd be interested in teaming up with a few others to strengthen the HTPC forum here at anandtech.

What's his AT username?
