Cutting the Cord Part 3: Building your HTPC - OS Install and Tuning - PCSTATS.com Cutting the Cord Part 3: Building your HTPC - OS Install and Tuning

As I mentioned before, I originally was planning to do this build with Windows 8 Professional and the Windows 8 Media Center pack, but theres a few things that Microsoft has removed from Media Center in the new version that make using it for a Media Center a non-starter in my opinion.
