Looks good to me. The hard drive should be enough, but it doesn't give you any room to expand if your system needs change.

I doubt your will need that much memory (I only have 2 gig), but you can never have enough memory!

P.S Sorry about the slow reply.

Thanks guys, the responses were exactly what I needed!!

As per all of your suggestion on the hard drive size (and Tony's note that it wont make a huge difference coming back from sleep) I will hold off on the SSD for now, since I have some 60GB SATA's lying around, that way I dont risk it with it being too small and at the same time save some money. (I can always add later)

I do realize the memory is a bit moe than needed but it's a fairly good deal and heck as robbo100 says it never hurts to have more.

Holzi that is a good point, I havent (and dont know how to truly check if it fits) but reading reviews of the case I think I will be ok with a low profile graphic card, a blu-ray player and one hard drive. I will be getting the TV card last so I'll worry about it then.

MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS!!

on the matter of the ASUS M4A88T-I Deluxe.... does anyone know if the eSATA supports a port multiplier? I'm looking to adding up to 4 additional external media drives (1 BRD and 3 2Tb HHDs)

Thanks!

Did you get it? How does it run (specially with 1080i)? I'm looking for experience before building my first HD HTPC...
