Okay so I have the typical questions a lot of builder’s do, I’ve selected the parts and want other’s opinion of where things might be tweaked a little here or there.
I have my [url=https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=7674071&WishListTitle=AMD%20HTPC]wishlist built on newegg[/url] but here’s the summary.
Case – Antec Veris Fusion Black 430
Mobo – GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU – AMD Athlon X2 4850e
Cooler – Scythe “NINJA MINI” CPU Cooler
Memory – OCZ4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
HD – WD Caviar SE16 WD4000AAKS 400GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
OS – Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit
So what do you think? Good combination of hardware? Any issues?
This is going to be a dedicated HTPC and will be stored with my other components under the TV. Any issues you see that may arise or suggestions on improvements. My budget is already a little stretched but I could probably squeeze a little more if I had to :). Of course the other way is always nice too ;D.
Thanks for the input.
