I've recently decided that I need an HTPC, and I figured i'd go cheap (720p vids max, no games, and I have a small feeling that this is an impulse purchase... ) Here's what I have:
HEC 6K28BBOH40D case - has 400w PSU
Foxconn G31MX-K MicroATX
Pentium E2180 w/ stock cooler.
Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD502lJ 500gb
Sapphire Radeon HD 2600XT 256mb
1gb kingston ddr2-800 (stolen from my desktop, lol)
Rosewill RNX-G300LX b/g wireless card
10x Masscool FD08025S1M4 80mm fans (because 10 is cheaper than 2 w/ volume discount... gotta love newegg :lol
dvdrw from parent's old desktop
xp home, borrowed from old desktop
ends up being about $310, which is nice. My goal is for it to be quick enough for 720p. Anyone have any thoughts?
