HTPC related questions....

[Gav]

I'm looking to build a HTPC so i could do with a bit of guidance from you guys....

So far i have bought a q6600 Case wise i have been looking at the Thermaltake Bach Media Lab VB8001BNS. I am also looking to include a blu-ray drive (writer at a later date once they become more affordable)

What i am looking for is ideas on motherboard, graphics, audio and memory.

TIA
Gav

Zalman HD160+ HTPC Case
PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO
Intel q6600 processor
Scythe Mini Ninja Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x1GB)
Maxtor Diamondmax 22 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache
LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray Rewriter & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive

Do you guys see any problems with this setup?

the case is about 5cm taller than the cooler so it should fit ok

i already have a hyper type-r supply kicking around here so i am going to stick that in
