This is the list of components I have come up with for my HTPC, can anyone suggest any alternatives to what I have listed? I have limited options with my choice of case as not many HTPC cases hold 4 or more hard drives inside.
Antec Fusion MAX VERIS Black ATX Media Center Case - No PSU
ASUS P5Q-EM iG45 Socket 775 onboard VGA
4X Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache – OEM
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2
Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVD±RW SATA
Antec EarthWatts 500W PSU
I would obviously like the setup to be quiet but have to be realistic considering there will be 4 1TB hard drives inside, I will be putting my entire dvd collection on it so I can then store them in the loft and free up some space in the living room.
I have a budget of around £700.
