Hello, all! The last time I did this I built my setup myself, and I ended up with a computer which was much too large, drew too much power, and ran way too hot even though there was a bare minimum of components. I'm hoping you guys can help me build smarter this time.
I'm looking to make a new computer in the next couple of weeks to hook up to my LG 55LS5700 55-Inch via HDMI, for use as a Media Center to watch movies, and also as a Gaming PC to play games like BioShock and emulated games.
I would like it to be smaller than 17-1/2" x 4-1/8" x 15" (or a little bit larger than an xbox) if possible, to fit in my tv stand. I want it not to run incredibly hot or draw a ton of power, my old PC trips the breakers in some places. I'd like the video card to have HDMI out, and for it to have a wireless card. I will most likely never upgrade the components, so don't worry about the upgradability factor. I want it to be as solid of a gaming PC as possible within these requirements.
Can you guys help me out? Thank you so much in advance!
