Hi,
I've just finished ordering the component parts for my first HTPC build. Budget was about £500-600 (actual incl P&P £568). I should have sought some forum advice before the purchase, but I got impatient... Anyway, I wanted something slim, so opted for the following:
Keyboard - Ceratech Wireless Accuratus Toughball
Processor - Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 2.0GHz LGA775
Hard disk - 500Gb Samsung Spinpoint T 7200Rpm S-ATAII
OS - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit OEM
Cooler - NORTHQ 3392 CPU Low Noise Copper Cooler
Memory - 2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800)
Optical Drive - Optiarc AD-7630A 8x DVD±R, 4x DVD±DL, DVD+RW x8, -R x6, x5 RAM, Slot-Loading slim IDE black
Motherboard - Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD ATI, S775
Case - Hiper Media Center HMC-2K53A-C0 - Intel Chassis with Psu for 775
Exhaust - Evercool SB-F1 PCI slot system exhaust fan
I originally consider the Silverstone LC19 - but the power was restricted to 120w (plus the Hiper case has Wi-Fi & VFD built in).
Even though its to late to cancel my order, is there anything obvious I've missed?
Thanks,
CPDave.
