[QUOTE="Winter, post: 16885"] Hi Folks, I'm going to be building an HTPC in a SFF case as a house warming present for myself (just bought my first house). Since I just bought the house money is tight and I only have about CND$1000 to spend. I have a Processor and RAM already so I just need the rest of the bits. I looked into building it in an HTPC case but they are either too much money or too small to fit the PVR 500 and the 6200. Here's what I'm looking at building, I think most of it should be pretty quite, with no fan on the Video card etc. The Processor is a P4 2.8 HT and the RAM is 512 MB of PC3200 Here's the rest: ANTEC ARIA mATX Asus P4P800-VM MATX Hauppauge PVR 500 PIONEER DVR-109 ASUS N6200 TD 128 Zalman CNPS7000B-ALCU WD SE 200GB SATA I've never used a Zalman before, but it's huge and still fits in the case so I figured it's be the best bet. Any comments on this? I think with that hard drive I should be able to record about 90 hours worth of TV, is that close? Thanks for you time. [/QUOTE]
