[QUOTE="stowaway, post: 222176, member: 60809"] [b]thanks[/b] thanks for everybodys input.. although i already order the parts. :( The reason i dont go amd is because in all the CPU bench marks the intel equalivent whoops the AMD ass. I ended up spending a bit more than normal, but i didnt buy a GFX card yet, i will upgrade later if its no good. [And the htpc is low end for a NEW computer.. all the parts are on the lower end of the price bracket.. besides the case] I havent picked up these parts yet, so i can always change, but i will only do that if someone has had bad experiences, or if the sound/gfx or performance would lack due to the hardware choices: HTPC Desktop Case - Silver VFD with IR receiver Intel ATX E4500 CORE 2 DUO /2.2GHz/2MB CACHE/800 FSB/LGA775 DDR2 2048MB(2G Single stick)PC6400 800Mhz Asus P5E-VM-HDMI QuadCore G35 FSB1333 DDR2 PCIEx16 VGA RAID GLAN 1394a :thx: [/QUOTE]
