I made a thread a few days ago about trying to decide what hardware I want. I think I have decided on this...
MI-008 Tower
Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3
Corsair TW3X4G1333C9 XMS3 4GB
I have a 1.5TB Western Digital Green drive that I am going to use for now until SSD prices go down a little more. I believe this motherboard/cpu/gpu combo should allow me to bitstream HD audio. I will be running Win 7 Pro 64bit with XBMC. I will then look at getting a HP IR Receiver off of eBay or somewhere to work with my Logitech remote. The Apex MI-100 is also an option for a case.
Does anyone see any problems with this build? Will I be able to bitstream HD audio? I'm hoping to be able to make a purchase in the next few hours so I can get it by Friday so a quick response would be awesome! Thanks for the help!
