Hi,
Well UPS just dropped off all the bits for my first venture into an HTPC.
Been reading hundreds of posts and have plumed for the following parts: -

Sony BDU-X10S Blu-Ray BD-ROM SATA Black Internal - Retail Box with Cyberlink Software - Qty: 1

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800Mhz/PC2-6400 GOLD XTC Memory Kit CL5(5-5-5-18) - Qty: 1
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G Socket AM2+ onboard VGA 8 channel audio mATX Motherboard - Qty: 1
Antec EarthWatts 430W 80%+ Efficiency PSU - 80mm Fan 4x SATA PCI-E - Qty: 1
AMD Athlon X2 5050e Socket AM2 45W Energy Efficient Retail Boxed Processor - Qty: 1
