I have just realised It's lacking a Hard drive, I'll probably just throw in the largest capacity I can find at a cheap price range. 2TB probably.

I can't see much wrong with it myself, Do you guys agree this should be pretty much perfect as a HTPC? I'm buying myself a new rig for gaming closer to Skyrim release, so this really is just for movies and TV shows in the living room. No gaming or web browsing atall. Going to be installing Media portal on it and using it as a front end.



Let me know what you guys think. :)
 
Looking ok, I used the Intel 2220 cpu in my HTPC which played blu-ray and dvd's without hitch :)

Do you require a PSU?
 
Ah balls, Lol. Yes. For some reason I assumed the case came with one, but just had a look and it doesnt mention one. £140 for a case without a PSU! Yikes lol. Yeah a PSU would be good, Not sure the type of power requirements the machine i spec'd would need, I'm guessing not a lot?
 
The case can take a std ATX power supply, I did have the older 2400 case which come complete with the psi.
