[QUOTE="ThaClown, post: 81629, member: 20860"] After running Media Portal on my normal PC for a year I decided to make a HTCP. I already bought a black Silverstone case the LC11 (just love the black one) [img]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/images/ibulletin/attach/jpg.gif[/img] But I still need everything else: - Micro ATX motherboard - Hard drive (I will buy 400 or 500 GB but need suggestions about specs and should I buy 1 big one or 2/3 smaller ones?) - DVD drive - Power - Memory (will I need 1GB or will 512 be ok for smooth running?) - Videocard - TV card - Cooling - Anything else? I want to spend up to 400 euro (would prefer less) and will buy online (maybe second hand) to reduce sosts. Wat I want with it: - Smooth playback with DVD rips and DVD - Smooth internetradio and streams - Quiet (will place it under TV screen) - General MP use (photo, video, music and web) - Future use in local network (with my work PC) - Future expansion to another TV in bedroom Who can help me to decide what to buy, I don't need a extreme machine, just smooth and quiet with all the trimmings.... Thanks to everybody at MP for this great program! [/QUOTE]
