Hello all,
I new to the whole HTPC scene. Ive been either streaming from PS3 or 360 for the past 2 years and becoming quite sick of the poor streaming capabilities of the 360 and sick of chiavai always popping up on the sony.
I am looking at building my own HTPC using this case from http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.ph...1&area=usa. Im considering installing ubunta with XBMC but have no linux experience but will give it a crack. heard this was faster and better than just installing XBMC over windows.
The build i want is on the cheap and would like some recommendations for an SSD and motherboard. Want the motherboard to have HDMI with inbuilt graphics.
Currently all shows are on my main pc but will later have a server set up.
All help appreciated
