My proposed first XBMC/HTPC build
#1
I fall into group #5, and maybe later #6 for HD audio. Would everything here (running under windows of course for the Netflix support) support all of that? I have heard of other people using the G530 with good results. I am also in the process of building an unRaid server right now as well to serve up all my media to this HTPC box. I am thinking that a SSD would prove useful for a snappy feel to the menus and thumbnails, correct?
