Right after looking and looking and looking I have finally settled on what I want out of my HTPC. So short background before I roll the spec out.
The main uses for this are for using it as:
Case - Coolermaster Silencio 550 Black Mid Tower Case (No PSU)
£65.99
Fully sound proofed and large enough to cover all I need. Also it fits on it side im my cabinet with a true front to back airflow should perform well.
Insides-
Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 PRO CPU Cooler
£25.00
XFX AMD Radeon HD 6870 Double D 1024MB GDDR5
£149.99
OCZ Agility 3 SATA III 2.5" 60GB Solid State Hard Drive
£159.98 x 2 to run raid 0 for speed
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
£39.98 X 2
Asus P8P67 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) Motherboard
£119.99 - With Bluetooth for my keyboard
javascript:void(0);
2nd Generation Intel® Core? i5 2500K 3.30GHz Socket LGA1155 - Retail.
£179.99 - i5 so it runs cooler and keeps the room quiet
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply
£60.98
Any comments Recommendations and alterations considered Hoping to buy all this end of the week.
Thanks

The main uses for this are for using it as:
- A front room HTPC for Video playback direct in to my home AV.
- I will also use it for racing simulations (rFactor or similar, Maybe some FPS games too)
- Also run a couple of vPC's for some other functions. I have settled on XBMC as my weapon of choice as a main centre.
- And as a front room PC when needed
- On top of this I want to run 2 smaller Thin PC's in my upstairs bedroom for videos and in my landing to run music using my touchscreen as a interface.
