i am planning on building a htpc originally i was going to get a standard size htpc but after advice from someone on this forum i was looking into mini-itx solutions here is what i am considering can someone let me know if this will work with every from standard all the way up to blu-ray
also although i will be installing a hard drive into the system
i would also like the option to stream video wirelessly from home file server using either my wireless n router or getting some Power over ethernet adapters but for now just need to get built

what do you guys think (especially about the ram as i cannot decide)
i am not even sure what the recommended requirements would be to have window 7 x64 with xbmc and be able to play blu-ray through it
