[QUOTE="Redth, post: 232462, member: 53162"] I just ordered some parts for my new HTPC... Here's what I'm getting: [B]Case:[/B] Antec NSK-2400 [B]Motherboard:[/B] ASUS P5E-VM HDMI mATX Motherboard [B]Video:[/B] Onboard Intel G35 Video (supposedly capable of 1080p) [B]Sound:[/B] Onboard HD Audio (8 Channel) [B]Processor:[/B] Intel Core2Duo E4600 [B]Memory:[/B] 2GB Mushkin DDR2-800 [B]Hard Drives:[/B] 3x500GB Seagate SATA2 (will RAID-5) them for ~1TB effective storage [B]Tuner:[/B] Geniatech Digistar DVB-S (already used in my old HTPC) [B]Remote:[/B] Windows MCE Remote (already used in my old HTPC) [B]Monitor:[/B] Samsung 32" LCD (720p/1080i) HDMI Input (already have it) [B]Speakers:[/B] Logitech Z-5300 (not ideal, but still, 5.1, and already own them) My biggest challenge now will be trying to squeeze another hard drive in there somewhere. I'd ideally like to install Windows on a 80gb sata drive I have laying around. It looks like there may be space in a couple spots, just a matter of modding the case to mount the drive. Aside from that, any comments? Am I missing anything important? [/QUOTE]
