Jumper12 New Member Member since:Feb 2008	Add a BD Drive or Purchase New PC? Everyone, I am wanting to begin moving all of my movie purchases to Blu-ray from standard DVDs and need some expert advice on how to get started. I currently have a Media Server in my house which I use for mp3s, DVDs, and home movies. My rig is a couple of years old and it is running Windows XP Media Center 2005 with latest SP. Hardware specifics are in my signature. I have AnyDVD HD already installed. Question is could I get by, initially, with adding an external BD drive (would like to read and write so I can use BD disks as file backups). If so, which drive model would you recommend? As being new to Blu-ray, I am concerned I do not know enough YET as to any technical or performance limitations I might run into with my current rig. So questions is, purchase BD drive and connect externally via USB2.0 and a HD enclosure, or purchase a new PC? Thanks for any suggestions!!! Last edited by Jumper12; 02-22-2008 at 01:27 PM.
