[QUOTE="obbiie, post: 53552, member: 20599"] Hey, Planning to build a new HTPC in the next couple of weeks, the spec I'm going for is as follows, any advice would be great! Case: Silverstone LC17s MB: MSI K8NGM2-FID CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (This is the main area Im unsure about) Hauppage WinTV Nova Ci-s with Dragon CAM for $ky 512 of DDR 400 ram Seasonic S12-430 PSU The main area I'm looking for advise on is RAID, now I haven't built a PC in 2 years or so and am a little out of touch with RAID. I am concearned with using one large drive as I've had a drive faliure on my mac before and lost 100Gig of media. I intend to rip most of my TV dvd's and will "acquire" a lot of HDTV content so am think of a 3 or 4 disc RAID aray ( RAID 1+1 ???). Has anyone else got a RIAD array running in their HTPC? IS it far too noisy? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
