i have got a hard drive and dvd drive i would intend to use

i would prefer the smaller intel build but ive never built a htpc before and im a little unsure if i may have missed something.

thanks
 
well the intel spec i was looking at was just cos i liked the look of the case which would happily sit under my tv and not look stupid.

would i be all set to go? im assuming as its integrated graphics i would not need a gpu. would 2gb of ram be enough to run xmbc? i want to spend as little as poss for a half decent spec
 
i would play blu-ray on my ps3 anyway so thats no issue.

it would just be used as a netbox and stream media to it.

im assuming with build 1 i get the mobo/case/psu so i just need to add a cpu and ram?
