Hey guys.
I'll be moving this month and the rooms in our new place are a little smaller then I have now. Therefor to optimize space I would like to wall mount my plasma with a acompanying mounted htpc. So I'm looking for a small media center, needs to play hd videos, and harddrive isnt an issue because my gaming pc can take care of that.
Right now I have a gigabyte ep45-ud3p, with a e5200, 4 gigs of ram, a wd 640gig and a 4830. It's all housed inside my thermaltike dh101. Run's like a champ and still plays a ton of games but it's time for me to sell it or trade if I find the right thing.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
HTPC/Radio/Media
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$300-$400 give or take, also depends whatI can get for the pc above.
3) Where do you live?
Rhode Island
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Mobo, cpu, rame, vid card (if no onboard), harddrive.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
n/a
6) Will you be overclocking?
no
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
47" Panasonic Plasma 1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Whenever
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Possibly HDMI w/ audio
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
Yes
I would also like the ability to control the pc with a remote if possible, maybe even a tuner card depending on what channels I can get in ri.
