I want to build a HTPC.
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 300 After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: HTPC, some skype too
Parts Not Required: monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.com, newegg.com, superbiiz.com
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: I would like to use
PURE Fusion Mini E350 (IPC-E350M1) http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?leg=&psn=000102&pid=1034 and my existing HT setup of Onkyo receiver, 55" Samsung LCD, Niles IR receiver (all HT stuff are in closet about 50 feet from my primary TV)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (if that is possible)
Monitor Resolution: 1080p
Additional Comments: As mentioned above, my HT stuff is about 50 feet away from my primary TV and I use Niles IR transmitter/receiver to control it.
I need guidance on the following components:
- 4GB RAM
- Nice case (with or without external brick power adapter)
- HDD about 80gb (required only for OS, as I will be using my NAS)
- Blu-ray drive
- TV tuner and PVR (this will be very helpful/useful)
- IR Remote (with keyboard if possible)
TIA
