[QUOTE="blackbird321, post: 333450, member: 84953"] First, the biggest thing im worried about is how netflix streaming works with the software. If it doesn't work anymore, i won't even try to build the system, since it's one of my primary purposes. All i want the box to do is to play 1080p Blu-ray, and stream Netflix, i don't even need to record tv shows. I would like a super small case, probably about the size of a dvd player or smaller, and i would like to fit my budget of around $300. Im planning to hook up the system to a 42inch plasma tv via HDMI. Can people recommend me some hardware? This is what i've been thinking about: 8200 Motherboard(WHAT BRAND?????)- $70 Amd X2 2.5GHZ- $60 Cosair 2GB Memory- $9.99 Liteon Blu-ray drive +PowerDVD software-$99 Stolen(from old computer) 20gb hd- $0 Stolen Wireless B/G card- $0 Case-$50 A remote(i don't know how much that is) = around $300 done. What case do people recommend and what speed of Processor should i get? Do I really need to SLI my set? What kinds of Fans do i need to keep it quiet?
