and what about your OS drive??

From reading your threads I am looking at a SSD now. A very small one just because i don't need to store anything on it other win Windows and XBMC software. I have desktop with an i7 and 6TB space, and laptop with an i7 to do any editing needs and etc.

Fantastic. Thank you so much for all the help. I now feel comfortable about the build. I was mostly worried about the skin and being able to play back icefilms but you have made me feel much better.

Again thanks so much. You are a huge asset here!

your HTPC will eat any XBMC skins for Launch Tongue

you'll play 1080P for desert!!

and DTS-HD & TRUE-HD is icing on the cake!!

You should have gone with a smaller mini-ITX mobo + case, no need for a big DVD size micro ATX if storage isn`t important. Something like a Core i3 2100T, which does HD audio = 3D Blu Ray on Windows, and only consumes under 20W during movie playback, and under 10 in idle (same as an Atom or Zacate)

i so much wanted to like the Core i3 but its 24Hz issue
and macro-blocking in XBMC steers me away unfortunately.. :/
wish intel could fix the issue but apparently,
it'll be fixed in their next Bridge version which isnt the SandyBridge Sad
