Hey guys, I've been doing a ton of research on the site and have been playing around with xbmc on my home computer and it's time to build a HTPC.
I figure i'm a group #6, the machine HAS to stream 1080p flawlessly. All my videos are stored on a NAS, all I need is streaming so I was going to run the xbmc live build (possibly openelec).
I was going to run the Asrock E350M1, with 4GB RAM??

I like this one because it case bitstream HD audio.
Still questioning what to do for a Hard Drive. I would really like just to use a 4G USB thumb drive,just want to make sure xbmc will run smooth and no lag.
Also anyone have any suggestions for a good case that might resemble a DVD player,I dont need something huge, I don't plan on adding hard drives or expansion cards.
Thanks for any help/input!! Much appreciated!!
