Great info, your time is much appreciated.
I've use p3s media server, a couple media boxes and nothing comes close to the compatibility I get when just throwing a file into VLC and watching it on PC (high bitrate movies/shows etc. So I want to build my first HTPC and use the XBMC with it.
I thought about initially going with a Revo 3700 but figure that is limited as well, based on quite a bit of the information in this post and others I would like to ask if this setup appears to be a solid build for an HTPC.
Graphics/power/quietness etc.
Going to go Win 7 64bit, XBMC,
[CPU+GPU] AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D
[MOBO] GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) Micro ATX
[RAM] G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
[SSD] Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F60GB3A-BK 2.5" 60GB SATA III
[CASE] nMEDIAPC HTPC 7000B Micro ATX
[PSU] Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W Continuous Power ATX12V
[HDD] WD20EARX 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
please, any comments are very much welcome.
