Hows this for an HTPC build?
I'll be using a GeForce 8800GTS card already on hand.
Here's the rest of the components; thoughts, suggestions, comments welcome:
ASUS M4A785-M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX445WFGMBOX
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5
LITE-ON Black 4X Blu-ray Disc Reader SATA Model iHOS104-08
nMEDIAPC Black Aluminum / Acrylic / Steel HTPC 5000B Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Thermaltake TR2 W0379RU 500W ATX 12V v2.2 Power Supply
Rosewill WMC Remote control/Rcvr RRC-127 for Win 7
I'm thinking about using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and XBMC as the primary media interface
The other option is to use this case:
APEVIA Black SECC Steel / Aluminum X-MASTER-BK/500 ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Which saves me a couple bucks and also comes with a power supply which saves an additional $60
Anything I'm missing?
