HTPC in bedroom

simple idea, wifi HTPC in bedroom.

what i have so far

opteron 146
2x512 OCZ Gold DDR400
A few sata drives

what i need

PSU
Case
GFX Card with HDMI out (although i have a 9800pro AIW which i could use with DVI-DSub convertor)
sound of some sort, aint gotta be amazing, just good enough to watch DVD's and enjoy them. (i dont have optical in :( )
wireless kb/mouse (preferably laptop style combined)

price - £250 MAX but lower the better.

anybody done a similar project or could point me in right direction, would be greatly appreciated.

do you want hd-dvd or blu-ray playback? For the best output to a HD TV you need a DVI to HDMI converter so you will also need a DVI card.

I use ATi ASUS HD2400Pro

my gfx has dvi, dont want hd or blu-ray, just normal dvd

will take full atx

throw in a fsp psu, the 9800, up and running for around 75/80 £ throw in £17/20 for mce remote

what is your motherboard? I have this case, plenty of reviews online for it

With that case aren't you restricted to laptop DVD drives?

No it takes normal cd/dvd drives

Two good shouts, I have had the keysonic great kb, strong signal

agreed i have one in the bedroom but it works in the next room too !!!

thanks for the help guys. like the look of the case. i'll get it ordered when we finish decorating the bedroom at the end of the month.

my current mobo is broken, hence the leftover parts.

my new rig has just been dispatched from scan, q6600,8800gts,4gb ram. so i am one very happy bunny atm.
