Hello Everyone, I would like to start off by saying I have been a member of the xbmc community or a user at least since 2004 shortly after the release and dabbling in the modding world of xbox.
I soon had my original xbox outfitted with modchip custom frontplate with LCD panel custom case and jewel a 500gb HDD and xbmc as my dash i soon filled that device up and networked my storage and from there it grew
Since I Have Gotten Older I can now afford a real machine to run my xbmc build
My HTPC consists of
Hardware:
Ga-z68ma-u3 MATX board
I3 2120 (didn't need much)
Nvidia GT 430
StarTech PEX13943 4 pt firewire
Thermaltak HTPC case with Soundgraph Imonlcd Panel and pad
Optiarc DVD Rw
4x pyro 60gb SSD's
1x 500gb HDD
500w CoolerMaster PSU
Software:
Ubuntu 11.10
Mythtv front/backend 24
XBMC PVR branch Eden
This box Serves as the backend for my mythtv installation and my XBMC frontend. It supports 3 cable boxes currently.
This machine also reads off my 8tb storage in my Mac File server
This machine was my first build and was intended to be the HTPC but it kept growing and soon became my daily
Now it has become a fileserver for my HTPC containing over 7tb of media
It is a
gigabyte Ga-z68m-ud2h ATX board
I5 2500K @ 4.5ghz
Antec 620 Water Cooling
4x 1tb Western Digital HDD's
1x 2TB Western Digital HDD
2x OCZ 60gb SSDs
NVidia GTX 460
I wanna thank Team XBMC without them id be stuck watching my cable on a tube tv and being happy with it
Now thanks to PVR branch I can have ALL my media in EVERY room and even on the go
Soon I will post pictures of the internals of the HTPC
I wanted to post this somewhere and show what Team XBMC had inspired and what i have achieved with the help of the knowledge found in these forums

There's a certain satisfaction, I think, in being able to broadcast your media to any room in the house or even to the adjacent milking parlour (or back garden, depending where you live 
)
