As a result of this thread I am now building my first HTPC.
The parts liste is something like this:
Graphics card: ASUS GeForce GT430
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M PRO
RAM: Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 4GB Kit
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100
Case: Silverstone SST-GD05B
PSU: Silver Power SP-SS500
I am kinda on a budget, so for startes I will use both HDD and DVD-ROM I have laying around, but I guess I will upgrade to both a SSD and a blu-ray-rom later on.
Last part of the shipment should be delivered today, so I can start building soon.
Haven't quite decided what OS to run on it yet. I am a fan of Linux, but since I also want to be able to bitstream HD-codecs I am not quite sure what to do. I might just set it up with multiple boots in the beginning, to do some testing.
