I have been monitoring threads for a few weeks and I am getting close to a configuration. It will be used to play mixed videos 720 and 1080 stored files from a NAS and for a DVR when I add a cablecard tuner this fall. I hope to run a version of LINUX and XBMC and then mythtv. Replacing FIOS DVR box and WDTV streaming device now.
A6-3500
ASROCK either A75M-ITX or MB-A75M
Silverstone MLB-03 case
TBD Power Supply
TBD 4 gig 1866MHz DDR3
Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST95005620AS
IR TBD
Wireless TBD
Hauppauge WinTV DCR-2650 Dual Tuner Cable Card TV Tune - added this fall (all I need is 2 tuners)
I am trying to do this for around $425 now (minus the tunner and no O/S Cost) - hopefully I will not need to buy Windows with this hardware.
Any feedback or suggestions on TBDs? Am I missing anything else? I usually prefer AMAZON or NEWEGG.
Thanks
Ira
