I have some parts lying around and am considering convincing the wife we need a HTPC to replace the AVR we currently have. (Will need suggestions as to why the HTPC is necessary to replace a fairly new hardly used LiteOn LVW-5115GHC+!). What I need to look at is what I need to finish the system and figure cost. The following “specs” shows what I have and what I know I need, I sure there is some hardware needed that I don’t have a clue about (TV Tuner and the like??)
Case: SilverStone SG01-B Evolution
PSU: TBD Edit...How Big Is needed?
Mobo: Abit NF-M2 nView
CPU: AM2 4000+ Brisbane (NAA4G 0743GPPW)
GPU: On Board 6150
Sound: On Board
Memory: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 (2 x 1024) or
OCZ OCZ2P800R22GK Rev2 (2 x 1024)
Optical Drive: TDB
HDD: Hitachi 7K250, HDT22525DLA380, 250GB
FDD: NONE
HFS: Zalman CNPS8000-CU
NB: Stock
SB: Stock
Case Cooling:
Side (HDD Bay) > 1 x 80mm intake fan (2050rpm, 21dBA)
Rear > 1 x 80mm exhaust fan (2050rpm, 21dBA)
Top > 1 x 80mm TBD
PSB > TBD
Software: TBD
So bring on your suggestions as to if what I have will work and the most important part the “what do I need”.
This will be mated with the following components (currently have in place with the AVR).
1. Mitsubishi LT-46131
2. Bose AV3-2-1 Media Center
3. Explorer 3250HD digital box (from Comcast)
Also would I need to come up with a 5.25 “display” of some sort?
