Hi guys
been looking at a htpc setup for XBMC looking at the following spec to run it,
Mostly will be using it to watch 1080p mkv's + dts audio would like to run the skin aeon mq3 and possibly dont know if the motherboard would handle it but some N64/Snes emus.
Anyway spec
Lian-Li PC-Q09B
Gigabyte GA-E350N
OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5"
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 4GB
My only other requirements is needs to run from windows platform (will be no problem) and pass video/audio via HDMI my AV Receiver can decode DTS but id guess the pc will do that too, Video files are stored on a NAS that will be hard wired to the box.. will be using a logitech harmony remote to control via windows media remote.
Regards to HDD storage space will XBMC store cover/cover art locally on the SSD and do you think 60GB is enough for 500+ video files?
dont think there is owt else
£250 delivered is a good price but can i do better price/specs wise
cheers
