Hi Everyone
I am currently researching components for my first HTPC build. With so many options out there i am a little overwhelmed and open to suggestions from people who know more than me on the subject - which is basically everybody!
I live in Australia and will likely source products from:
CASE: Silverstone ML04B Black Slim HTPC Case $89.00
RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-1600C9D-8GAO 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 $92.00
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD Retail Box $119.00
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8H77-M LE Motherboard $79.00
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i3 3225 $152.00
DRIVE: Lite-On IHES312 12X Blu-Ray DVD Combo Drive $59.00
PWR SUPPLY: Seasonic S12II 430W Power Supply $75.00
TV CARD: Hauppauge HVR-2210 Media Centre Kit $165.00
I have a windows home server with movies, tvshows and music. I will primarily use it for these purposes as well as recording live TV to the server, browsing the internet and anything else people suggest i should install.
Your help is greatly appreciated and i eagerly await your replies.
Thanks
James
