[LIVE] Proposed Build - Issues? - VTHTPC - 2011-07-17
Hey all! Been monkeying around with XBMC on my comp, I do like it. I think it'll pass the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) for ease of use when I'm not around.
Here's my proposed build - trying to hit the $200 mark.
BIOSTAR A770E3 AM3 AMD 770 ATX
Athlon X2 250
(the above 2 are in a combo deal for $100)
1 GB Kingston DDR3 1066
Palit NEAG2100HD53-2187F GeForce 210 512MB
Cooler Master 360 Elite w/350watt power supply
Logitech Harmony 650 remote.
I have a 2x2TB drives lying around I'm going to use for storage for local playback. I know the case only has 1 3.5" bay - if I need the 2nd one, I can always buy a sled adapter.
My movies are all ripped to m4v (SD) or mp4 (HD) via Handbrake. My TV shows are all in ISO format.
I am out of HDMI inputs on my TV. I have an LG BD550, a Dish DVR 622, and a iPhone all hooked via HDMI (the iPhone is used for Netflix & HBO Go, since it's the only unlimited data I have - I'm somewhat off the grid). I plan on using a DVI to component adapter for video and 1/8" to RCA adapter for audio.
Any problems that could occur that I'm not thinking of?

I 100% agree. Otherwise it can't have a high WAF, DVI to component is terrible.
Here is one I have that works 100% with Harmonies:
