Evan
I've gotten a better idea of my needs for my HTPC:
Processor around 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz with a fast front side bus and hopefully a quiet fan.
Mother Board without integrated audio and video, 2-4 USB ports, at least AGP 4x compatible, accepts at least 1 GB ram
Case sholud have a beefy power supply and cooling but the fans should be quiet.
Any ideas on where I could pick up a barebones box with this type of foundation? I'm a bit leary of doing it myself because I've never done anything like this before.
Thanks Joe
