[QUOTE="Turrican2, post: 642412, member: 45459"] Hey guys, As my HTPC is getting old (still running with a mobile XP CPU ;) ) I am going to build up a new one from scratch. I selected the following components: CPU - Intel Core i7-860 CPU Cooler - Zalman CNPS10X Flex mainboard - Asus P7P55D-E Premium (for the 9.1 Output and USB 3.0) RAM - G.Skill DIMM Kit 4GB PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1333) graphic card - ASUS Bravo 220 Silent case: Thermaltake DH202 Desktop with Touch-Screen VJ80051N2Z - black or Silverstone SST-CW03B-MT Crown - black HDD - Samsung EcoGreen F3 2000GB remote - Logitech Harmony One TV-Card - I am still searching for one that I can use with Thai television standards (not much research done yet) Power Supply - Be Quiet STRAIGHT POWER BQT E7-600W TV - LG 47LE8500 I want to use the HTPC to watch BluRays, DVDs, HD Video, listen to music, play some old school emulated games, watch & record TV, watch livestreams / streams of TV shows and surf the internet from time to time. Aaaand of course I have some questions :) - I am out of the building your own PC busines for some years so I was wondering if this config is OK? - I was using a Silverstone Case for my old HTPC and can remember that configuring that crappy iMON remote and the display was a pain in the ass. As far as I read in the forum the problems with the screens have been solved with some Plugin, but can I use the Logitech Harmony One with the built in Infrared reciever of the Silverstone / Thermal Take cases, or do I have to replace it? - I want to watch BluRays and DVDs on it so I am searching for a reliable BluRay drive without a region code lock for DVD's and BluRays. I know that there are many BluRays without a region code, but as I am living in Thailand and my DVD Collection has a variety of different region codes I am sure it will be the same with my growing BluRay collection soon. Are there any drives available without a locked region code? - Is the power supply strong enough to power the system? [/QUOTE]
