[QUOTE="ltfearme, post: 281158, member: 52219"] Hi Guys, Im planning on buying the following for a second HTPC (using vista os) in the bedroom: ThermalTake Mozart SX - Slim Case with 430W PSU ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI AM2+ Athlon X2 4850e Corsair 2GB (2 X 1GB) 667MHZ DDR2 Samsung 750GB 32MB SATAII 7200RPM Sony 20X SATA DL DVD BURNER A few things missing: 1. Remote 2. TV Tuner Reading another thread from a fellow Australian, the Hauppauge NOVAT500 is a good choice for Tuner. Is this still the case, any other recommendations? With the Remote, the case above has a choice to get Remote/Receiver built in but I have no idea how good it is when used with MediaPortal. I currently have a MCE remote on my other HTPC and would be happy to get another one. Any change to the hardware above, total cost for the items above excluding Remote/Tuner is $685 which is great. Thanks,l Damien I just noticed that the Hauppauge NOVAT500 is pretty old now. How about the Hauppauge HVR2200 MCE instead? [/QUOTE]
