Hello all..
I have been a xbmc-user for a lot of years now (love the soft).
The thing is that I just moved to a new apartment and now I am in need of a complete new hardware/htpc setup.
At my old place I used to have a backend with my two dvb-s2 tuners and a small frontend running ubuntu+xbmc.
Now that I moved I can't run a setup like this anymore and thus I need a setup with a htpc capable of having my my Floppy-DTV tuner (firewire) + a PCI/PCIe DVB-C tuner.
At the same time I should be able to to store like 3 3.5" Sata Hdds and perhaps an HDD for OS (SSD if I doesnt blast my budget). First I thought of a NAS, but I would rather like it to be internal in the htpc for better control + support of encryption
I am pretty experienced with linux and know how to set it all up, but I couldnt find any good combination of a good motherboard + GPU (maybe onboard) + case and PSU that meets all my requirements and does support 1080p playback in xbmc running on ubuntu
