[QUOTE="Mooki, post: 236969, member: 68092"] So, i finally got my thumb out of my a**e and started ordering the following: Chassi: Antec NSK2480 w. PSU (will see about changing the fan for the one supplied with the Minja). Mobo: Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R and Gigabyte S/PDIF I/O-bracket. CPU: Intel C2D E8200. RAM: Corsair Twin2X2048-6400C4DHX (2GB). Cooler: Scythe Ninja Mini with a Thermalright backplate (personally I rather dislike push-pins). GPU: PowerColor HD3650 SCS3 (Passive) - a little hesistant about generated heat, but time will tell... HDD: WDC XL 500GB and/or Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB, haven't quite decided on exact configuration yet. Fans: 2x120mm Nexus to replace the included Tri-Cools, might also add a fanmate2. Keyboard: Keysonic 540RF (haven't seen anybody using it in a HTPC, but to me it seems it should be pretty nifty). DVD-RW: ASUS DRW-2014L1T. Still unsure about which analog TV-card to buy, I'm leaning towards the Leadtek PVR2100 - but I can't seem to find it for sale :( Also in a quandary about which 42" plasma to get, I'm waiting for the Panasonic PX80 but I'd rather have a higher resolution - so maybe I'll have to check the PV85 when it's released. Any ideas on the above? Oh well, first things first. Still waiting for some of the vital parts (like CPU and mobo) to be delivered, till then I'll just tinker with what I have - like performing the PSU fan-swap and such. I'll check back with updates along the way, or if anyone comes with some interesting input :) /M [/QUOTE]
