Hey everyone this is my first post, great community you have here. Its a long time since i used XBMC back in the days of the old xbox. Currently im using PS3 Media Server to stream my media from my desktop, its not doing my setup justice as it does not support full HD audio which I only get from burning Bluray's. So a HTPC is the way forward.
My current setup consists of 50" Pioneer 500M, Pioneer SC LX71 Receiver, and KEF 5.1 KHT3005SE Speakers.
My desktop which would have to suffice as the server for the time being (NAS to be added later) Consists of an intel Q6600 cpu, 4gb of ram and 2tb hard disks for storage. Ps everything is connected via gigabit ethernet.
What im thinking of putting together is the following combination.
Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/products/prod...id=3503#ov
Processor
Intel Core i3 530
Harddrive
OCZ Vertex 40gb
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/so...ii_2_5-ssd
Ram
2gb of DDR3
Case
OrigenAE S10V
http://www.origenae.co.uk/en/htpc_s10v.htm
I would like to add a Satelite card/TV tuner at a later date and maybe more internal storage. My main goal from this build is to play full Bluray/Remuxed structures trouble free. Would this build cut it?
Thanks for your input!
