I've been asked to spec up a high end HTPC, it'll be used in conjuntion with Creston touchscreens/server, lighting and security systems. Basically for a custom installer and high-end Home Theatre systems. I have two in mind, a smaller MATX unit with a smaller quieter HD, also bundled with a full tower file server. The second system is a high end HTPC with enough storage to be used a music and video system.
This is the system so far. Ideally I would like to fit a quieter CPU cooler, ie Ninja but unsure if it'll fit into the Zalman HTPC case. Sky/freeview cards will be added later as required.
