I am...

    HTPC/NAS Build

    I built a nas/htpc about a year ago. I went with I3 it seemed to win out in the battle of heat/power/cost ect. I did use a really cool fan that I found, I think it is called a "noctura" it is very low profile, VERY quite fan, and has heat pipes, so it is a great way to go for quite/cool...

    Tips for HTPC / Kitchen PC? cpu/mobo, keyboard/mouse

    if you really want it to be a capable gameing machine, I would sugest a core i5, you can get by with taht ggraphics card, but consider also upgradeing to a ati 5670, far more powerfull. HIS has a quite ICE verions, power color and shapire have no-fan passive units.

    looking for a media "libray" program or something....

    I use win7. It is good in that when it does play, it work well, and the sound output is always what I would deem "correct" (dts/dd). VLC defaults annoyingly to PCM. My problem with WMC is that a lot of the formats I get don't show up in media center, and I often get some message about...
