[QUOTE="BorgmanJayce, post: 27213, member: 16692"] These are the specs that I'm planning on using for my HTPC which I'm calling "Kawaii Ami-chan" after Ami Mizuno from Sailor Moon and which I plan on building in the near future when my finances are better and I just need some comments to whether the specs are good for a HTPC. =============================================== SilverStone SG01B Sugo Computer Case [Silver] Gigabyte GA-K8NMF-9 Motherboard Seasonic S12-600 PSU 4 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB SATA v3.0 Hard Drives [Equivalent to 2TB of Hard Drive Space] Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Music Soundcard Sapphire Radeon X800GTO² Graphics Card [256MB RAM] 2GB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC (3-3-3) DIMMs from Kingston Technology Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3100 [Keyboard and Mouse] PCI Wi-Fi Card Athlon 64x2 4400+ CPU [L2 - 1MB Cache] SilverStone NT03 CPU Cooler SilverStone FX121 Cross Flow fan 2 Sets of 3½ to 5¾ HDD Bay Converters 4 S-ATA Cables Windows XP Professional Edition MediaPortal for Windows XP Professional Edition [mediaportal.sourceforge.net] I also have a couple of questions... 1) What's a good TV Tuner card to use if you want to use it with a regular Sky TV decoder box to record programs from Sky TV 2) This is more Windows XP related but I wanted to know what the picture quality is like on a regular CRT TV when viewing files like text files and PDF's for example...
