HTPC parts

[Tommi44]

Hello,

Firs of all I want to know if this is a good system.

- Antec MINUET 300
- AMD Sempron 64 2800+ boxed
- PC-Chips A31G
- DDR PC3200/400 512MB ELIXIR
- Samsung SH-S182D/BEBE DL schwarz bulk
- Maxtor 80 GB Diam.Max10 7200 6V080E0D
- Club3D Radeon X300SE TD 128/256MB Hyper Memoy
- WinTV-PVR-150 MCE l.p. low profile

I also want to know if the graphic card and the tv-card fit in this case because the case is very low.
Which is the best remote for this system cause this tv-card doesn't come with a remote.

Thanks in advantage

Tommi

Microsoft MCE remote (AU/EU edition) is natively supported; it's your best choice. I don't know if all that stuff fits into the Minuet, but I will tell you that you're going to want a bigger hard drive to keep all your recordings.

Think if you go low buget you should think of the nVidia 6150 ship set got integrate video card that suports pure video and can always later be upgraded by a faster video card
Hardisk looks a littel small vor your tv recording but if you are networked and have a fileserver its ok

sugestions
1 look for one of the low volt dualcore 3600 X2 if your buget alouws it.
2 i would prefer 1 gig make's evryting runs just a littel smother

But there is just one big rule when bulding a HTPC can i make it sillent the rest will work out then fine
