[QUOTE="slimmj0k3r, post: 350100, member: 86349"] Hey guys, new here. Just sharing my build with you guys...originally i built this PC with the intent of using it primarily for work and occasional browsing but things change haha eventually I'll probably convert this setup into a server (seeing as the case is rather large) but since this is my first HTPC build i figure I'd learn everything off this machine before i step it up another level. Onto the Rig as she sits now AMD Phenom x4 Quad Core (2.6ghz) Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink MSI DKA790GX Platinum Motherboard Corsair Dominator 4GB(2x2gb) DDR2 1066mhz Corsair 1000w Power Supply Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 1GB (pci-e) (connected DVI>HDMI) WD Velociraptor 10krpm 150GB SATA HDD Win XP Pro 64bit edition Samsung LN40A750 LCD TV 40" (Full 1080p) I need a few things A remote Speakers (2.1 is fine, this is currently a bedroom setup) TV Tuner card....possibly...? Any comments or suggestions as to where i should look? Currently I'm subscribed to Verizon FIOS (with a STB) which is connected via HDMI, now when setting it up through my PC, exactly how would that work? I've read some guides but I'm sure I'll be loosing some HD quality, which is no good for me. Anyway Today I'll be upgrading to Vista Ultimate 64, since mediaportal will not work on Pro 64bit. Also My Blu-ray/HD DVD drive is on its way so i can back all my blu-ray movies up to my PC. Most likely i will be connecting to an external enclosure via E-Sata.......for now. When the collection grows i will most likely pickup a few Drobo's For myself.
