Please help on a build. MOBO/CPU/Video?RAM

[ahill195]

I am putting together a machine the stream video to my television. I want to hook it up via HDMI. I plan on watching movies from netlflix and streaming TV(hulu etc) Also mobo with built in wireless card would be cool.

I have not built a machine in a few years so pleae any advice would be greatly Appreciated.

I am trying to go cheap as possible.

I have case, PSU, Hard drive and wireless adapter (b) available.

Is it going to be running windows or linux?

If you are running like a Myth frontend the build could be really... really minimal, like a netbook.

Planned on using XP pro. But I am open to anything. the only linux I have ever messed with was UBUNTU.

Can you stream directly from the net using myth?

Here is what I have so far. I included a wireless adaptor becuas ei only have a b not a g laying around.
