So my roommate and I are considering going in on a nice HTPC. I know putting it together is the same, I just need some help picking parts. Heres what I've got so far.
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory (I picked these for the heatsinks because there won't be a whole lot of airflow through the case)
Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING ACF64LP 60mm CPU Cooler for low profile PC - CPU Fans & Heatsinks (not sure about this thing but it looked good for low profile, could use some suggestions on a cooler if this isn't good.)
Newegg.com - LG Black 6X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray/HD DVD-ROM & 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Model GGC-H20L - Blu-Ray Drives (got this because my roommate has some HD-DVDs he wants to still be able to play)
Newegg.com - LIAN LI Black Aluminum PC-C32B ATX Media Center / HTPC Case - HTPC / Media Center Cases
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 45W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Newegg.com - ASUS Xonar D2X 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
I also need suggestions on a TV tuner card that can receive an HD signal and has recording capabilities (not sure if that is dependent on the card or software)
