Hello,
I'm currently building a theater room in my basement and I would like to build a HTPC/Gaming (Steam) box to go with it. I'm going to be using a projector with a 135 inch screen (16:9) at 1920x1080 resolution. XBMC will be my media center and Steam for all the gaming.
I have a budget of $750. I already have the OS(Windows 7 64bit). I would like the box to run as quietly as possible, since it's going to be on a shelf above the sitting area with the projector. It doesn't need to run games at max settings by any means, medium to medium/high settings would be great. I would like the OS to be on a SSD, for quick booting. I would prefer 2TB+ of main HD storage for movies, games and pictures. A nice looking case is a plus, but not required. I have done builds in the past using AMD, but I'm fine using Intel. I do want to be able to play blu-ray movies from the box too.
