View Single Post - Suggestions for a SFF/HTPC system

BeerCheeze · Rated XXX

Hi Everyone... I am looking to build a SFF/HTPC system for our bedroom. We want to be able to watch movies on it, use it as our Stereo system, Internet, and some Video conferencing stuff (cause in my new position it include travel). Before I go out and purchase everything I would like to run things by you guys and get some comments, feedback, suggestions, etc... Also note the system will only be connected to a TV no monitor (might use one for set up is about it).

Purposed System:
MSI Mega 180 SFF Barebones
Dual DDR 400 (2x256 - I already have this ram sitting around right now)
AMD XP2500+ (Trying to see if I can use a Mobile)
Seagate 200GB HDD (Bought it already... CompUSA had a good sale)
Lite-On 16X DVD Dual Drive, Model SOHW-1633S
MS Wireless KB & Mouse (Already bought)
Logitech Z640 5.1 Speakers
Logitech QuickCam
Windows XP Media Center 2004

I'm considering add the ATi 9600 AIW as well.

Any and all constructive comments are welcome. Thanks guys/gals!
