[QUOTE="NOOB213, post: 819866, member: 117328"] My name is Brandon, my fiancees name is Daisy and both of us are pretty much clueless when it comes to this media center stuff :S But finally, and after a long time I am ready to build my Media Center. However, we do not even know where to start it seems LOL. It is rather daunting to be honest. After reading and researching for a few weeks I have decided to start this thread and get the best minds together to build me the perfect system. I will make a layout of my small flat here in Sunny San Diego, California and then list what I am looking to do. I only have the slightest idea. For now, I can tell you that I have: -(1) sony NSX-40GT1 google tv [main tv] -(1) desktop [i7 2600k x giga Z68a d3h b3 x 1 evga gtx 570hd sc 1280mb x 8gb ram x 300gb hard drive x cat6 connection] -(1) sony eb series vaio laptop -(1) cheap walmart laptop used for internet ONLY -(1) cisco dpc3010 cable modem -(1) cisco lynksys -N home router -(1) 25ft cat6 network cable -(1) samsung galaxy s running android 2.2 [i think] -(1) sony playstation 3 I do know that I am going to want one VERY large data storage to put all of my media on. I currently use IPtorrents and download about 1TB a month. I would like to be able to: -keep my 40 inch tv in room 1, watch movies on that, surf the web, no gaming though -put desktop in room 2, buy new monitor for that set up a good gaming/school desk -use my laptops to watch movies, play music, surf web, anywhere in house wifi I will sketch out and detail the floor plan to give you guys a better idea of what is going on here. Also, I have an account with newegg and pick up locally here in SoCal so I would like to buy as many parts as possible through them. [url=http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=281&name=Networking]Newegg.com - Networking, Wireless Networking[/url] I have at most, a few months to complete this project but funding IS quite adequate. I do not mind paying more for better stuff.
