I'm about to build an HTPC from some parts I have around. The question is... what software to install? OS wise I'm thinking windows, since I still wanna use this machine for casual gaming. What I'm really struggling is with the software, what's the best solution out there? What additional (if any) software should I install?
I'm using XBMC on my HTPC. You can't really beat it for community support and tutorials. I haven't set it up yet, but I've seen videos of people having a Steam header on XBMC that loads up Steam in big picture(full screen) mode, so it's really clean looking. That's what I'm going to do with mine.
