First and foremost I need a PC that will run windows 7 or 8 smoothly. I will not be gaming at all on this PC. I will be use this PC to mostly surf, download, office, attach to my monitor, and eventually run XBMC.
My 2005 PC finally gave out. I really need something as soon as possible. I currently will be recycling two SATA HDD and still have an old DVD burner I use to burn Xbox 360 games. My main concern is to somehow to recycle these two HDD for my next build. I know there are cases in order to enclose the HDD and use USB to connnect them but I would prefer to just attach my two HDD in my next build for a cleaner build. Not sure of HTPC case would suffice for this.
Other requirements would be USB 3.0, and be able to attach to my monitor which has DVI. That's pretty much my only requirements. Also it would be nice for it to be quiet in order to watch movies.
Also I'm not sure which would serve my needs best? A mini-atx or htpc case as well.
