heya,
going to try and build a htpc build and here are the proposed specs (this will probably built around crimbo time):
case:isotope http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=495768
mobo: msi AM2+ micro-atx
cpu: K10.... equivalent to a e6420 or e6600
ram: OCZ 4gb (5400)
hdd: 2x750gb seagate barracuda's in raid 0
psu: around 550W modular by a big name brand worry about that nearer the time
monitor: a 52" plasma (already have)
3.5" bay: a 4 fan controller possibly a 3 fan controller if I do water cooling
tv tuner: a dragon card and tv decoder so I can use sky
gfx: a 8600GT or a 8800gts 320mb
5.25" bay: 2x slot loading drives in mounted in this http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_5482.html
OS: Vista ultimate 64bit upgrade (hence why there are 4gb of ram )
mods:
theme internally will be red and white I will paint the hdd racks' & optical racks and psu & psu mount plate red.
May make it watercooled and then paint the radiator and pump red and have red fluid but only connect to the cpu and gpu
have white fans , 4x12" red cathodes with red fire switch on back to turn on and off, red Ram heatsinks
change the mesh on the sides into mirror acrylic by Ac Ryan so that when the lights are on in the windows are see through but when theyre off it is just a mirror http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2197.html
So what do you think?????
