[QUOTE="SlotcarMAG, post: 1019901, member: 143272"] Hi all I'm very new (2 days) to having media portal running on my current tower machine and I must say I like it the overall smoothness is nice compared to xbmc anyhow I digress my question is this My current system sits in a large tower beside my TV unit and I like the idea idea of putting it in an htpc case and getting it under the TV however I'm not sure if the specs are OK for this purpose they are Gigabyte Ga-ma785gmt-ud2h motherboard with atiradeon 4200 onboard 3gh and athlon all x2 250 4gb crucial ballistic ddr3 Would these be a good base for my main htpc which would need to feed my current library plus and downloads to at least 2 other PCs in my home and possibly to my tablet. I'd like to add ablu ray drive to that mix when I build the main htpc to replace my ps3 drive so it needs to be able to cope with that and also it'll be on probably 24/7 so not sure if I need more energy efficient parts. My apologies if I've rambled but hopefully somebody has followed where I'm going. Thanks scm [/QUOTE]
