Hi guys
Wanted to take a second, say hi and thank everyone for the inspiration to finally build my first htpc. I just about have everything dialed the way I like it, but the process is ever ever evolving. Does anyone ever finish building there's?
Here is a quick run down of my budget friendly (broke father of 2 girls) box as it sits now:
asrock h67 mitx
intel i3 3.1ghz sandybridge
8gb ram
nvidia gt640
128gb samsung ssd
2tb seagate barracuda
cheepo dvd burner
fractal core 1000 matx
planning on adding silverstone grandia gd04, and a blu ray burner (though linux seems to hate them)
any pro's/cons on the gd04? i have been reading fairly solid reviews on newegg about it.
