[QUOTE="kay, post: 1285, member: 2"] The only thing I would add is, definitely go for a dedicated HTPC case. If you indend on storing lots of info, double or even triple on the hard drives and run them in RAID. It's impossible to otherwise back up such amounts of data economically. Lastly, if you indend on keeping your standalone DVD palyer and just want the HTPC for convenient storage of video (but not real-time TV pausing/recording) and music files, then a much lower spec PC will do the trick just fine. Think 256MB RAM, any CPU not older than a year, and practically any graphics card with a TV out. [/QUOTE]
