I have the gold version of these. I wish I could purchase another pair

These are great headphones and this is one heck of a deal

I think im throwing the gaming requirement out the window right now.

Does Win8 support Amazon?

I would be using an Xbox 360 controller for most games and occasionally using a keyboard/mouse How is netflix and amazon HD streaming achieved with an HTPC? XBMC, WMC, Windows 8, Browser?

Plenty. 20" d, 12" h, 20" width or I can place it on the floor next to my TV stand. Basically, I want this set up to be silent/quiet during streaming. During gaming the fans can rev up as long as it is not like a vacuum! I would accept a bit louder than an xbox 360 Is there a way to stream...

Wired gigabit, some mkvs are transcoded (10gb, dts), some are full video hd audio rips I'd like to play at 1080p, nearly max if it can be had for the right price. I'm not 100% sure I am going to build this for gaming, but I'd like to at least spec it out. I was hoping a mid-range ($200 gpu)...

The synology has some features I really like (backup scheduler, cloudsync, cms, etc). If I built my own NAS with unraid or freenas, would software like this be available? What would a budget htpc look like?

Thanks Danny. I will go with the DS212j. Do you have any recommendation for disk speed for my needs? Would 5400rpm cut it?

Yes. I'm considering this http://www.synology.com/products/product.php?product_name=DS212j But would like to find something cheaper and perhaps the above is a bit overkill for me?

I am looking to build a personal cloud for my home. Nothing fancy, just something with enough power to handle multiple connections for downloading video, music, photos and video streaming, music streaming, etc. I prefer a system that has an integrated UI (mobile app is a plus as well). Finally...
