Not too worried about performance, I was more wondering about noise and heat. I suppose I can still get the other drive if this one doesn't work out and use the 500GB for storage elsewhere.

So I cheaped out and ordered the 500GB Green drive from ZZF because it was a pretty decent deal with the motherboard. Am I going to regret and/or notice this?

Props to OP and ZipZoomfly should give you a tip. Just ordered $200 worth of htpc parts there because of this deal.

I think 320gb will be enough to start. Ideally, I want some sort of attached storage storage for media files, back-ups, etc. at some point. Though, if that doesn't work out, I could always drop a 1-2tb drive in this machine I guess. That hot swap enclosure is really cool but I think I will...

Hi everyone! Been a really long time since I've posted anything here but I'm looking to build a new htpc and I need the [H] stamp of approval before I buy. So, I think it will primarily be used for streaming shows, etc. from the internet at first but there may be a few upgrades I'm interested in...

Popcorn sales at movies are down because it costs fuckin' $10 for a tiny bucket. So, in trying to capitalize on a captive market they just drove people away from buying that product. L2notbemoneygrubbingjackasses and I might buy popcorn at the movies again.

$294.00 + $8 shipping at mwave... slightly cheaper

Try using DScaler. The lag is because the 150 has an mpg encoder on it. I think dscaler will bypass that and then you shouldn't experience the lag (at least I've heard).

I think OSX runs only on Mac notebooks. But windows can run on the new Macs, too.

Here's a stupid question... why do you get to pick between 2 different speeds of RAM?
