[QUOTE="TheDane, post: 700757, member: 109012"] What do you mean by VA / VA deinterlacing? Shouldn't it demand more to play 1080p then 1080i, or is it just me that's a bit confused with all this tv-talk. Still running old 28" philips CRT tv :wtf: And ramdisk, like swapfiles, or? If I thought I could justify the bigger pay for the SSD, I would go for a "cheap-ish" 40gb, but it just all adds up, so would like to keep it on the cheap side for now. And this is my first go at a HTPC, and when it's fully functional it will be sold to my sister and brother-in-law, so they can enjoy it. And then I will use the experience it gave me, to build a new/better/more advanced/more expensive/etc HTPC for my self. Think I can justify 4gb more, but in the end they will cost almost as much as a 30gb SSD... So I will probably gonna end up with a $1000 HTPC... Oh boy, don't think sis is gonna like that :bitch: Think I will probably gonna buy a 5400RPM 1.5TB Western Digital green, maybe just 1TB to save a bit, untill I get tv-tuner card and it set up for recording. Probably gonna start out with basic HTPC, just for movies, music, and TV-series. Then afterwards get tv-card setup, DVB-S I believe is what's needed for Viasat, and heard they should be pretty expensive...
