[QUOTE="jensnasholm, post: 32421, member: 17427"] Hi All, Trying to put together a HTPC at medium budget that is expandable in the future when I have some extra money to “invest†into the project. As this is the first time I am building a HTPC it would be great to get some feedback on the parts I have selected from all of you out there that have done this before. I have built a couple of PCs in the past but noise and heat was never an issue in those projects.
