Here is my first HTPC
Part List
Antec Black Aluminum / Steel Fusion Remote Black Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Intel Core i5-650 Clarkdale 3.2GHz LGA 1156
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3
BIOSTAR TH55XE LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
It only has a 320GB hard drive in it right now that i had laying around. I plan on putting a 32GB SSD hard drive just for the OS. It's running Ubuntu 64bit Linux, The only thing I have to say is the case. Before I bought it there were complaints about the Remote and LCD screen. They are bought poorly made I plan on finding a replacement for them. Over all it runs smooth with the i5 core using the embedded graphics for hdmi 1080. The HTPC is attached to a Thecus N4100Pro with raid 5 1tBx4tB drives with all my TV shows and movies there is a slight lag in the playback at the start for caching. I'm running Aeox Showmix theme I don't have a good camera so the photo is kind of crappie.
