poofyhairguy, you said "Agreed. I will take a nice NAS and HTPC frontend over a monster HTPC any day.
In fact that is the core of my HTPC philosophy.
Here is my best advice for a futureproof HTPC. I think about this stuff way too much, so I am glad to help:
The best of the best would be to start with this deal:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundl...mbo.492748
It is a perfect deal, like I put it together or something.That case is my current favorite HTPC case. Lian Li, sick build quality, looks guaranteed to makes normal people go "where did you buy that thing?!?""
I tried the link, but the combo deal is no longer available. It sounds like you had some great HTPC options picked out. Can you recall the individual items in that combo?
I just posted a request for input on this very topic and someone referred me to you. (I'm building an HTPC hybrid - for gaming, video / photo editing, and HTPC / XBMC)
