Had some questions about HTPCs'... I figured they'd be somewhat practical with the right setup. Would just like to hear some thoughts on bare minimum specs for storeing BlueRays/Music. Not a internet or gaming rig. HDMI ready with great sound... Thinking of maybe throwing a AMD Semphron (spelled correctly?) in it.
Thoughts on case styles/cooling? Does it need adiquate cooling? I would rather the case be slim>boxy... Kinda how the new 360 is, possibly smaller... if possible.
Sound cards... Not familiar on what to look for with these. I'm sure I could figure it out eventually. Just some thoughts would be nice. Also, Intergrated graphics, or video card. If so, is there a specific kind for video output only (not gaming, or workstaion).
Thanks for the read.
