Re: HTPC Draft Build – Pick the design apart

[Mike Garcen]

ok, i understand your hesitation for using the separate SSD, but TRUST ME, you’ll be so happy!!! everything just works so much peppier. Not sure if you use resume from sleep, but that goes so much faster with SSD.

Only a couple comments–
1. 600 Watts is probably overkill given your specs. I suppose it doesn’t hurt, but you will be wasting some power given i’d guesstimate your system really could live off a 300watt draw (if even)
2. I’d suggest the Dinovo Mini over the SIIG. it’s bluetooth instead of RF, but it’s so tiny and just an awesome coffee table piece. I know it’s a bit more than the SIIG, but not that much.
