[QUOTE="boydn1, post: 86636, member: 20731"] I've been thinking of building a PC for two basic uses. 1. Playback of music (thinking of .flac for lossless.) About 400 now. 2. Playback of my audio DVD's. About 30 now. I saw an articel at Tom's Hardware on building a low power HTPC. Most of the hardware is directly from there. Will a 400gb drive work for the above and leave room to grow? Please give me your ideas for improvement or will this work fine. Thanks! Case Undecided PS Cooler Master's iGreen 600W power supply Proc Athlon 64 3200+ Energy maybe 3800 MB Asus M2NPV-VM Cooler ?? HD Seagate 400Gb SATA DVD SAMSUNG Black 18X DVD+R 32.00 Mem A-Data Vitesta DDR2-533 (PC2-4200)2 512s DIMMS [/QUOTE]
