I'll be gutting my current computer in a few weeks to upgrade it to Sandybridge, and I want to put the components I'm replacing (Intel C2D E6750 and 4GB DDR2 RAM) to good use.
I need a set up that can use those components (or at least the processor - RAM is dirt cheap) with three hard drives - a small SSD for the OS plus two storage drives (both are 2TB so I can't consolidate my media into a single drive).
Can anyone recommend a build that can handle 1080p while meeting my requirements? Apologies for not suggesting a build myself but I'm new to HTPCs and have no idea which components are worth using.
Thanks
