whats a htpc bud? hdcp? i'm confused

As for what you're saying - if you didn't like using Windows Media Centre - use Linux instead?
 
home theater pc

cant use linux as it will be in the living room and the gf will be using it so needs to be windows. i quite like windows mce but its not quite mac os :)

but i could actually play games on windows unlike mac os

Yes but I think it depends what you want. I'd get a cheap PS2 and build a HTPC in that case running MCE personally.

Or if you already have a half decent PC you could buy an XBox 360 and use it as a Media Center Extender.
