Are you in for the modern times and ready to change your old TV entertainment to the new PC entertainment center? Here is a simple and practical guide that can help you have your very own PC entertainment system set up in no time and in the most acceptable budget. A. Reasons Why You Should Change to PC Entertainment 1. If you want to go with the latest trend and technology, then using your PC as your enhanced entertainment system is the way to go. 2. If you think you are spending too much for cable or satellite TV subscriptions, then you can save money with a PC entertainment system without letting go of your favorite TV shows and movies. 3. If you want to save money in equipment and in the long run, then you can use online TV for all your entertainment needs. B. Useful Guide to Setting Up your Online TV/PC Entertainment Center 1. Choose your PC. You can choose any kind of dual core PC (Mac is also another option) as long as you have at least a Microsoft Windows Vista Premium. An MS Windows Vista Premium has Windows Media Center which you can use to access online viral videos, browse home videos and record live TV. The Ram should be at least 2 gig. If you plan to buy a new one, it can cost you about $400. 2. You have the option of buying a Blu-Ray DVD for your PC but it can you an additional $200. If you do not have budget for that now, you can settle with the standard DVD players that come with a standard PC. You can always upgrade later on. With a DVD player, you can watch online TV and DVDs. 3. Most of the computers sold these days already have integrated video but if you want to get a separate video card for Blu-ray or for higher resolution, one can cost you at least $60. While you can use the integrated video on your PC, you can always buy a separate video card later on for a cleaner and better online TV watching experience. 4. Another major part of your PC entertainment system would be the display. The display would dictate how your online TV watching can be. You can choose from LCD monitors to projectors or plasma screens. Of course, the price would depend on the size of which one you will choose. Any of them can be a very good investment, though. 5. If you want your PC entertainment to be an all-around entertainment system, then you can also choose to buy a media card reader (starts at $20). With this, you can use all types of digital camera chips so you can also view your photos on your wide screen or use it as a digital photo frame. Watching online TV has never been this good before. Thanks to the continuous development of entertainment technology, you can have all the enhancements while being free from the traditional dizzying expenses and bulk of traditional entertainment.
