Hi all,

Looking to build my girlfriend a pc as cheaply as possible to double up as a blu-ray player, ideally cheaper than a new ps3. It needs to "stand" like a ps3 as there isn't much room, hence why we haven't gone with a standalone blu-ray player.

If it isn't possible, we'll go with a ps3, but I would be surprised if it couldn't be done.

Thanks!

with no OS, it comes to around £275, also with no sound card (does have 5.1 ch support on-board) but 500gb of hard drive :D.

Barebone (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Barebones/Novatech/BB-322G4.html)(will b cheaper if u do it yourself)

Graphics Card (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Graphics-ATI/ATIHD4300Series/Asus/EAH4350SILENTDI1GD2A.html)

Hmm, not really cheaper than a ps3 though :( I can build it myself, thats no problem, but still looks like a ps3 is the way to go.

Thanks guys!
