Windows Media Center hardware database helps you build an HTPC

So you've been meaning to turn your old PC into a home theater machine, but you're not quite sure where to begin. The MCE-Components database includes a huge list of TV tuners, CPUs, graphics cards, motherboards and operating systems used in media center PCs.

The database was built on information from users who have built their own systems, and you get to benefit from their mistakes (and successes). Want to know if that Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 TV tuner will work with your Abit-NF M2? Just browse the TV tuner section, find your tuner and then check to see if anyone's used it with your motherboard. Or vice versa.

Right now the database consists of 100+ systems and counting. You can add to the wisdom of the masses by contributing your information.
