[QUOTE="pemberto, post: 169888, member: 54480"] Hello All, Well I stumbled upon MediaPortal the other week and now I am hooked. So I going to build my frist HTPC and if all goes well my dad has asked that I build one for him. I decided to go with the intel motherboard/cpu - like to keep things simple and build for the future, quad core may be overkill now but who knows what we will be running in the future. I am happy spend good money on a graphics card. This will be feeding directly into a Lumagen Vision ProHDP video process before hitting my Pioneer MXE1 pannel. So I want the best possible picture I can get. The main use will be video playback, no gaming, too many consoles in the house already. I have a large collection of DVDs that I will transfer to disc, hence the 750gb drives. Take the point that I may be better off with smaller drives and store the main content on a server. (thats another project) So the kit list, this is where I need a little help in terms of psu and cooling. Case: Silverstone LC17S-C (order stopped. Now looking for different cases) Motherboard: Intel DP35DP (Ordered) CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 PSU: Need Help Cooling: Need Help GPU: ? Memory: ? DVD: Pioneer BDC-S02BK 5x Blu-Ray Reader Combo DVD±DL OS: Do I go Vista or Windows XP - Need some words of wisdom. HDD: ? Now looking at adding main storage to server and run over home gb network. What am I missing. What do I need to think about? - Any help would be great. Regards, Pemberto [/QUOTE]
