Still need some more part suggestions……..stuff I know I need

1. OS
2. TV Tuner? Not sure just “how much” I need on this. Right now running Comcast cable with an HD box
3. PSU**
4. Any IR stuff??
5. Optical Drive…I assume at a minimum it will need to have BluRay read abilities?
6. What else??

** This just got “solved” compliments of you know who! Just won one of these > Kingwin Absolute Power ABT-600CW and may replace the Enermax Liberty 500W in YsSMN with that going to the HTPC. Don’t think I need all of the blue LEDs lighting up a HTPC!

Also just had a thought……. do you think the 6150 GPU is enough or should I seriously consider something like Sapphire’s 34XX or 36XX series GPUs?
