Thanks for the post, gave me some items to research for my first HTPC build. (Will probably use the same case, as it is cheaper than the LIAN LI case I was considering.)
I am still trying to figure out the remote and what it is needed to make it work. Got to have something that is wife/kid friendly, but also have a separate key board so that I can make changes to the HTPC when needed. (We currently have a Logitech Harmony One, but I have to replace it since my son broke the LCD screen……it’s a great remote tho.)
Thanks again for posting your build.
I just found Eskro's post on remotes and the Logitech is even listed....one less thing I have to teach the wife how to use LOL.

Hello.
Being a novice here I have read this article with interest.
I am planning to build a similar HTPC myself but I am not able to get the Asrock motherboard from my suplier so I will use a ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, Socket-1155 instead.
One question though.
In your configuration you are not mention any graphic adaptor.
I assume you are using the graphic adaptor included in the CPU ?
Have you tried your HTPC with 3D movies yet ?
Someone told me that I probaply would need a graphic card to get 3D via HDMI but I dont know if that is so ...
Thanks,
