[QUOTE="SavageNL, post: 54828, member: 20765"] I am planning to build a HTPC for a while now, and today I started to gather some information about stuff I would use to build it. I came up with this list: [b]Motherboard:[/b] Asrock K7S41GX, 741GX (mATX, Sound, Lan, VGA) [b]Graphics card:[/b] Asus GeForce 6200 128MB DDR (AGP, DVI, Passive), N6200TD/128M [b]Memory:[/b] 1GB PC2700 DDR CL2.5 (Kingston ValueRAM) [b]CPU:[/b] AMD Sempron 64 2600+ (S754, 1,6 GHz, 128KB, Boxed) [b]Harddrive:[/b] Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 200GB (7200rpm, SATA II, 8MB, NCQ, RoHS) [i]* perhaps this will be just ATA *[/i] [b]Case:[/b] Enlight EN-7473 (mATX, 200W, Zilver) [b]Tuners:[/b] Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500MCE [b]Remote:[/b] Microsoft Media Center Remote & Receiver 2005 NL [b]DVD writer:[/b] Lite-On SHM-165P6S 16x (Dual Layer, Zwart) [b]WiFi:[/b] Sweex Wireless PCI Card (54Mbps) I'm kinda sure that it will work for MP, but I an not too sure about how silent it will be. I chose some of the parts because they were the cheapest ones I could get (like motherboard/wifi), and others because I will like the options (tuner) The case is about the cheapest I could find, but it was the only one that is affordable and still doesn't look like a tower casing. So, does this configuration make any sense, did I forget anything or should I start all over again :). This solution will cost about €500 which I think is a reasonable price for it.[/i] [/QUOTE]
