Hello,

I am new to media pc's and stuff but I have built pcs before just not in a small factor, sorry if i'm doing something wrong. I am needing a dedicated pc which will stream movies/songs to XBMC from a external HDD (NAS)

Would it be better building a media pc in a small factor case or buy a revo 3700?

What do you think?
What storage is recommended for something that I need?

Is this capable for a HTPC?

Lian Li PC-Q08B
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Intel H55
Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz
Corsair XMS3 4GB
Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP 12x BD-ROM / 16x DVD Writer Drive
Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 3TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply

and I see many htpc related threads ask what tv turners they should get? what is that good for?

e21XX pentium dual core would be ideal.

i3 is a dual core, what do you think about this? What PSU is needed to run this system?
