Just built an HTPC for video streaming on Jan 1st. Had an SSD, bluray drive, and Win7 already so it seemed like a no-brainer. Only cost like $270 otherwise.
CPU: AMD A6-5400K APU 3.6Ghz Processor
MOBO: ASRock FM2 A75 Mini-ITX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800)
SSD: Intel 510 Series SSD 120 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-Inch
CASE + PSU: MI-008 Tower Black P4 Chassis w/250W ITX PSU + SATA
Bluray: LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X
Windows 7 Ultimate
Bluetooth and Wifi adapter (but hard wired once installed)
IR: Manta IR Receiver
Installing Windows.....
Using a Logitech keyboard here - http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-...B005DKZTMG
Set it up with XMBC and WMC - but I think I like XBMC better. Video quality is better and it bistreams HD audio perfectly.
My source is a Synology 1512+ NAS with 12TB of storage.
