I was wanting to basically through a post out there to get the opinion of the scene.
I am considering building my second HTPC, I want to be able to play my HD content, but also want something small. I stream all my content, so I don't require a large hard drive.
Here is what I found from a few hours searching online (I have read some of the suggestions on this forum also):
CPU & On-board Video:
Zotac IONITX-A-U
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813500027
Harddrive:
Seagate Momentus 80GB 2.5"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6822148444
RAM:
A-DATA 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820211066
Remote:
Anyware HA-IR01SV
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6880121001
Case:
M350 Universal Mini-ITX
http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-m...-enclosure
Current Bundle deal on RAM & Remote
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealD...20-211-066
Total price, comes to around $360... any thoughts?
