Here's my question:
I'm looking at buying a HTPC. However, I'm not very good at putting computers together (I don't have the patience). Are there any computer stores either in Ottawa or that will ship to here that sell prebuilt HTPCs? I see there are companies like best buy which sell them, but theirs are often standard desktop PCs with MCE and a tv tuner installed; I'm looking for a real HTPC, with a real (horizontal) HTPC case, a quality tuner, a video card suitable for a HTPC, etc...
Also, I'd like to avoid the micro-atx/"mini-pc" kits as they often aren't strong enough for HTPC work nowadays. Any suggestions?
