Well it's time to start planning this baby. I'm building a media PC to hook up to my 46" LG HDTV. I'm planning on building it in the beginning of May. Here's what I've come up with so far:
CPU: NCIX.com - Intel Xeon E3110 Dual Core Processor LGA775 3.0GHZ Wolfdale 1333FSB 6MB Retail
Motherboard: NCIX.com - Intel BOXDX38BT Bonetrail ATX LGA775 X38 DDR3 2PCI-E16 PCI-E1 2PCI Sound GBLAN 1394A
RAM: 2 x NCIX.com - OCZ Platinum OCZ3P13332GK 2GB DDR3 2X1GB DDR3-1333 CL 7-7-7-20 Dual Channel
GPU: NCIX.com - BFG GeForce 8800GTS 650MHZ 512MB 1.94GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Retail
HDD: NCIX.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA2 7200RPM 32MB Cache NCQ 3.5IN
DVD: NCIX.com - ASUS BLU-RAY Reader BD-ROM 5X DVD+-RW 12X6X12 DL 4X Internal SATA Black Retail
PSU: NCIX.com - Corsair TX750W 750W ATX 12V 60A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan
TV Card: NCIX.com - Diamond TV Wonder 650 Theater PCI-E TV Tuner Card ATSC NTSC HDTV
Case: Still undecided
HSF: Already have a brand new Zalman Fatal1ty lying here.
My Total: $1,370.22 - $100 in rebates = $1,270.22
Plus the cost of a case. Sorry I would post the price I get for each item but it's against NCIX's agreement
Anyway let me know what you guys think! This is going to be mostly for gaming on the big screen, recording TV and watching movies in HD.
If you have any other suggestions either post a link from NCIX or just suggest the part and I'll look into it. As I've said before I'm a Premier Partner with them and get everything you see for quite a bit cheaper.
The TV Tuner Card I asked about in the multimedia section but still haven't got a response. I want to know which is the best one of all. You can read my post there if you want.
