[QUOTE="BillyTheFish, post: 758416, member: 82282"] I have an Antec Fusion Black which I could re-cycle for this. Does anyone have experience of the Antec and the Silverstone SG06B and whether it's worth me getting the SG06B? I have just moved flats and space is at a bit of a premium and so I'm keen to minimise the HTPC. I do want it a bit future proof, though, as I don't want to build/buy another for a good few years and so it has to be fairly high spec'ed. I've got a fair budget for it (around £2,000) but don't want to waste money if I can help it. My current thoughts are: CPU - Intel Core i7-860 (may be overkill? It will last me for a long while however) Some sort of passive cooling Mobo - 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 or Radeon 5770 -I haven't really looked into this properly yet and so I'm not sure which or whether there is a better alternative. remote - Logitech Harmony One (already have) Keyboard / Touchpad - I already have a Keysonic Wireless Mini Keyboard and so I think I will use that PSU - Probably a seasonic fanless (not sure how much wattage I need?) SSD - for the OS and MP - OCZ Vertex 2E - probably 40gb HDD - for timeshifting and recordings - Western Digital GP - probably 1TB TV Card - Black Gold BGT3630 when it comes out so that I can receive Freesat, HD channels and (hopefully) 3D content. I was going to just get a BGT3595 but I can't find it on their website any more. Has it been discontinued? I think that's it. Am I missing anything and does anyone have any thoughts on the above setup? Oh, yes, I also have a "LG Electronics Blu-Ray & HD-DVD-Rom Combo 16x DVDRW Black SATA" (LG GGC H20L). Is that good enough and can I just re-cycle that? [/QUOTE]
