Just wanted to say thank you guys for the help when choosing parts. Just finished my first build ever!

This is the setup for now:

TV: Samsung 46" FullHD
Receiver: Onkyo HT-R508
Speakers: Infinity Primus HCS

HTPC
Case: Silverstone LC17
Mobo: Asus PK5-E WIFI-AP Edition
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Heatsink: NOCTUA NH-U9B
PSU: CORSAIR HX620W
Memory: DDR2 800 2GB KINGSTON VALUE CL5 (2x2GB)
HDD: 2 x Samsung Spinpoint 750GB
VGA: Gigabyte GH4850 1GB
DVD: Some Sony
Fans: 2 x 80mm Noctua
OS: Vista Business 32bit
Keyboard: Logitech diNovo Edge
Mouse: Logitech MX620

Progs/Codecs:
OS: Vista Business 32
MP: RC2
Codecs: Haali Media Splitter, FFDShow Tryout

Remains to be done:
-Silence the VGA. Thinking Artic Cooler S! with a fan. Perhaps need to stick more fans into the case.
-Figure out how to get the most out of the system. Any recommendations? Any other codecs?

Once again, thanks for your help. Now I need to start planning for the next system in the bedroom... Needs to be small and quiet.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the most out of the system.

Looks like a really nice setup. Are you using it for gaming or any other purposes besides the HTPC? I noticed you threw in a 4850 video card!

How is the heat in that case?
