Hey Guys
Its been like 4-5 months since i built my antec 300 Build, so i figured i need a new pc
(I get bored easily)
This time was thinking about an HTPC,although i have been looking at the ANTEC p180 mini. Now i know this may seem a step-down from what i already have, but because of my odd desk layout an HTPC CASE would be convenient, so im basing the build around the case (antec fusion).
I dont want some ultimate machine, but it needs to be able to do some things.
I was looking at these parts:
Q9450/50 - CPU
Scythe mini Ninja - CPU Cooler
DFI Lanparty JR P45-T2RS - Motherboard
Corsair Dominator 4GB - RAM.
TV Tuner card
PSU?
GPU?
My main objective is for quiet and coolness.
I know a quad in an HTPC = HOT. but the fusion does have some good cooling.
I dont know what PSU or GPU to get, maybe a dual slot 4850, because there cooler than the single slot ones.
This wont be used as your typical HTPC, i want to be able to work and game on it too.
So if i could have some help and advice on this?
Any experience with any of these parts is appreciated!
