Perhaps, like me, you are contemplating building your own Media Center PC. Perhaps the HP set-top boxes are just too expensive. And the other products from Dell, Viewsonic, etc just look ugly or are too noisy. Well, Microsoft held a live Webcast session a couple days ago, covering the entire build process for putting together an OEM MCE system. Pretty much all you need to know about hardware selection, common issues, and configuration is covered. I tuned in, and found it to be quite informative to someone (like me) who has yet to attempt the building of one. And now, the recorded webcast has been made available for viewing. This link will take you to the registration page if you are interested (60 minute duration webcast).
