    Thanks babgvant

    Depending on the use case you may want to go with a faster hard drive.  Green drives are OK for single use w/ limited commercial scanning, but if you intend to do more than that a green drive may let you down.  I’ve been happiest with the WD Black drives but most 7200RPM drives with a decent amount of cache should do the job too.

    Actually there will be short period of time where I will be using this HTPC in a stand-alone mode, so I will be storing media on it.  Then later I will empty out the green drive and add it to my WHS.  I have a WD Caviar Blue 320GB 7200RPM SATA3 that I will pull out of my WHS and put into my HTPC.

    Given your build you won’t need this many fans – one is probably more than enough.

    Based on the air flow patterns, pulling in from the sides and pushing out the back, I am thinking of two fans, one on each side.  Also based on the reviews of this fan, they are said to be very quiet, but move a low volume of air, hence two.

    Thanks,
