My XBMC Box is just an XBMC box. I do everything else on my regular PC. and I switched out to a 150/150 on the PICO just because I get paranoid I might not have enough power... RE: Antec ISK 300-150 DESKTOP A8-3850 (non-HTPC) - Dougie Fresh - 2012-05-25 Beer, here is my recommended component list for your desktop: i3-2100 (you can go to MicroCenter, right?) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0359809 $89.99 + tax ASUS P8H61-I http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-3-0-SATA-Intel-Mini/dp/B004W8EFWK $79.99 Kingston DDR3 1333 low profile RAM (8GB) http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-Modules-KVR1333D3N9K2-8G/dp/B002K27KW2/ $43.92 then pickup a 128GB SSD (whatever is on sale that gets decent reviews -- my favorite is Crucial m4) and a case, power supply and if needed to fit the case, an aftermarket cooler. This will all run comfortably under a 120W power supply. RE: Antec ISK 300-150 DESKTOP A8-3850 (non-HTPC) - Beer40oz - 2012-05-25 Dougie .....
