This is the build I ordered yesterday for my parents HTPC... I'll be building it on Sunday so I'll let you know how I get on...
For your requirements just replace the SSD with the 2TB HDD

Credit goes to Idleman for the spec

(I changed from the Celeron to the Pentium)

What sort of case would you be looking for? colour/size/style kinda thing...

farlow2012 · 26 Oct 2012 at 13:13

something a bit prettyer preferably gloss black

Indie · 26 Oct 2012 at 13:26

I built with the new BitFenix Prodigy (Black) a few weeks ago - and while not really gloss black, its a stunning case and really easy to work with.

Looks awesome standing next to my TV Cabinet

Can you list any components you have that you could use in the build, then we can spend more in other areas.
What about this Lian Li case or something similar. A lot of these HTPC cases are expensive and will eat up a fair size of your budget.
