I did find out that I'd need a pretty beefy setup to emulate Wii games, and that's not something I want to do at the moment. Budget is roughly $300, but I already have a 2.5" hard drive, and if I go with an LGA775 chipset I can reuse my CPU and RAM from my main PC.Let me short it out for you- you already have ssd, cpu and ram. you want to build a new mini-itx htpc using the existing components, and it is for xbmc live and linux.
this should work:
1. SILVERSTONE Sugo SG05-B or APEX MI-008
2. Zotac GeForce 9300
3. Silenx IXP7409 iXtrema Pro Fan
4. LG Black 12X BD-ROM
5. HP OEM Windows 7 Vista XP Media Center MCE PC Remote Control
if you have some left over money, you can add one of these SAPPHIRE 100324L Radeon HD 6570 2GB or [url="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133356"]PNY VCGGT4301XPB GeForce GT 430[/url] to give you more fire power and head room. i think that you'll be happy with this new htpc!
