I'm up to the interesting bit now. TV to choose and HTPC to set up
Been looking at a Sharp Aquos 32 inch lcd.
Had fancied a Samsung before but they were down to the last one (display) at my local Empire Direct.
Can't make my mind up if I should try to get 1080 res or 100Hz
Will be watching footy (via sat soon) and films on it. Also got a dvd recorder that upscales dvd's to 1080p and will be connecting that to it via hdmi.
Any suggestions anyone ??

1080p is not needed for a 32" TV so save yourself the money and invest it in a 100hz TV. I cant think of any off the top of my head but I think Toshiba make a few.

If you're building a HTPC you may want to pass on the DVD player as well. HTPC's scaling abilities are difficult to beat. Even then if you must insist on a upscaling DVD player you need to consider if its scaler is better than the one inside of your TV. Unless you're really into movies and nit pick at picture quality you might want to consider an Oppo DVD player. Since HD DVD was retired you can pick up a SH Tosh E1 for around £50. It is an excellent upscaler of DVD's.

Personally I'd stick with the TV HTPC combo though.

Nice DIY by the way

I got the dvd player for free lol
It's a Sony one and I can't remember the model off hand. I just thought I'd use it cos I've got it. I guess I could play something on both then decide which I prefer?
I'll do more reading on the 100Hz models then.


@pipsqueaker
I put steel between the ceiling and floor above.
Luckily the chimney above had been reduced to make way for wardrobes so there isn't much weight.
