[QUOTE="Banyon, post: 153729, member: 49407"] For anyone that might stumble acrossed this thread looking to build budget wise, This setup did just the trick. I built exactly what spragle put there, and it works fine as a HTPC. Only issue I found with it, is that there is no simple TV out solution on this on-board video chipset, so i ended up spending another $30 on a ATI X1050 for its video out, and everything is working fine now... the on-board video tends to also sent a large chunk of RAM aside for itself as well... by installing a PCI-E vid card, I managed to regain almost 256Mb of the RAM I installed... this thing screams... even had it do a AV scan while watching movies and listening to radio and I didn't notice it was doing the scan till I heard the clicking of my hard drive.
