[QUOTE="guyver_dio, post: 650671, member: 106564"] just to add my 2 cents... I'd go with WD in the hard drive department. I've used WD hdds since my very first pc build and my very first WD hdd is still being used in one of my pc's (going on 8 years now) and I was right into lanning back then so it got knocked around a fair bit, and between friends and others I've spoken to I haven't heard a single case of a WD dying, yet a few stories with other brands. I just don't think you can go past them. A 420-500watt PSU is easily sufficient for a htpc regardless if your using a video card or integrated graphics (since the video card only has to be good enough for hd media playback). I'm using an Antec earthwatts 420watt psu, I'm only using the integrated graphics from the i3 processor but I'm sure it is more then enough for a HD media oriented video card. [/QUOTE]
