[QUOTE="TheDane, post: 699548, member: 109012"] Hi fellow MP'ers, I just recently discovered MediaPortal, and I totally love it. It's just what I needed. But now I'm building up HTPC for running MP, and thought I would run it by you guys, as you probably will have much more experience with parts and MP then me.

(For danish readers I have viasat) HDD: Haven't decided yet, but thinking of some 5400RPM HDD's, wouldn't that be the best choice? Or would 7200RPM's be fine too? OS: Windows 7 I will then be using the onboard HD4200 GFX on the motherboard, and the onboard sound, and it will be set up to a LG 42" LD450N through the HDMI I think. So what do you guys think of that setup? And what kind of recommendations do you have for choice of HDD And tuner cards? Kind regards The MP-virgin :ooops: The Dane [/QUOTE]
