Beer40oz Wrote:Hey is this what you want CPtnHOOK? That is slick... But you said it was for your kids room? I am confused...
...lol, kids are getting the Sugo in playroom with a 3D panel, prolly 40'"!!
I want this one in the Man-Cave.. Thinking of selling the 55" samsung and going with a projector and new HTPC serving up movies and music for those poker & pool table nights with the fellas!! But NOTE.. If I spend $550 on a new HTPC wife will certainly send me off to therapy!!lol SO...
Sexxy Slim SFF build W/A8 = or < $350 is Ideal... but i may be pushing it with the e5 or e6..
What do you guys think??

....Okay....now that's sexxy... I want to Hump it..really!!
...but DAYUM look at this price.. , if you want to be pretty do you have to pay for it??....guys look, We all are addicted to this HTPC sh*t, it is obvious.. so why not turn-out the nicest looking options possible. Retailers will continue to have us by the balls, long as most DIY options are uglier than theirs!!
....XBMC puts out the fly'est Software right?.... so we should turnout the fly'est builds...I'm just sayin!!

That ML02 case is a dead ringer for the circa 1980 VCR that my grandma still has. Yick.

Here's what I ended up going with
MB ASROCK|Z68M-ITX/HT Z68 LGA1155 R
HTPC CASE SILVERSTONE GD05B RT
SSD 32G|PATRIOT PT232GS25SSDR R
PSU ANTEC| EA-380D GREEN RT
MEM 4G|GSKILL F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL R
CPU Intel I3 Sandybridge 2100
Costco had 3TB Mybooks USB3.0 drives for $109 last week. I got 2!
With Windows 7 on a 42" Panasonic Viera
It's been great. With 1yo twins, its hard to find time to get everything setup in one shot, but I've been slowly getting there.
