My new HTPC

THDBASED · 2007-10-01, 19:08

Well this is what I am buying in about half an hour, unless someone can convince me there is a problem...

- Asus M2A-VM Hdmi Socket M2

- AMD 4000+ X2 64BIT Dual-core Processor AM2 Boxed

- Antec NSK2480 Zwart EN Zilver Desktop Behuizing 380 Watt

- Seagate 320GB 16MB SATA300 7200RPM ST3320620AS

- Premium 1024MB DDR2 PC6400 800MHZ Value Series

I know that it would be better to get a less watt CPU from AMD, but that one is almost twice as expensive at my online PC shop (there is only one model)

The case is pretty cheap too, but I don't want to give a big amount of money for just a case, if someone has a better case for almost the same amount of money let me know (about $100)

Be careful with the motherboard as the onboard x1250 graphics have problems with ATI catalyst drivers above 7.2. My advice stick to 7.2 drivers.

Cheers
