[QUOTE="natrlhy, post: 71694, member: 23624"] I posted this on 8/18/06, but due to the maintenance on the forums some posts were not able to be imported. Here it is again: A HUGE thank you to everyone that assisted me in my HTPC hardware selection! As of today (8/18/06) I have officially purchased all of these items. As a note for other buyers interested, I paid a final price of $1,478.27 USD (that includes tax and shipping). My budget started at $1,000 but I began to realize that it needed to be $1,500 in order to include a good case and power supply, the tax and shipping. THANKS EVERYONE! I will post pics of my build in a new thread.
