    New HTPC Build, need help

    This is my first time putting together an HTPC, and I want to make sure I've got a good handle on it before I go ahead and order the parts. I want to build something that's small, sleek and quiet. I also want it to be capable of handling an HDTV signal and I'd like to hook my Xbox 360 up to...
