$1000 HTPC Systems Guide
 

In the function department, our goal is to have this be a fully functional
Media Center PC. Why clarify this? Well, we just want to let you know
that this won't be a client PC, or a Media Server. In will be a fully
contained unit capable of operating on its own. Developing a client/server
plan for your home is a whole different story. A few of the functions we
will cover are DVD playback, music playback, ATSC and NTSC capture and
playback.
