q6600 transplant into htpc

[spm_uk]

Hey all,

Getting new rig so looking to transplant my q6600 and 8gb into a htpc with 750gb sata drive and dvdrw drive, upgrade to br at somepoint.

My budget is around £200 so im thinking

Asus P5Q-EM Intel G45 Express Motherboard
and
Antec Micro Fusion 350 HTPC Case with Remote

This comes to around £175-180 + a low profile cooler

Am i forgetting anything? goin to use it to play blu-ray backups and sabnzbd and serve backups and filestore, I know it is a little overpowered but might aswell reuse stuff.

Can you turn off your computer with that item you posted?

Only thing you may need is software for blu-ray play back (you may already have this) part from that it's a capable good system
