Hello All,
I am in possession of a brand new (unopened) Gigabyte B85M mATX Motherboard that I bought from a friend for $20. I also am in possession of a 1080p 48" Sony TV in our living room. I need/want a HTPC for the living room. I want it to be able to connect to our home network, receive television service form our cable provider, handle Blue-Ray, and do Steam In-Home Streaming from my gaming computer upstairs. I have no problem with building this/these individually as I have built computers in the past. I have a budget of $400, so fire away.
Requirements Are:
Quiet-Ish operation (not crucial)
Decent looking
A small SSD for system files and quiet operation
A blue ray drive/bay
A larger hard drive for bulk storage
Wireless Card
For this I have a build in mind but need your input. Check it out here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gnbKJx
You will notice I am going to use the Ceton Corp InfiniTV 4. I want this for cable capabilities and low price. I don't need it's successor, the InfiniTV 6. I have no use for 6 tuners.
I am also in possession of 3 other 720p Samsung 32" TVs. For these I would like small PC's for cable television and wireless capability. These will not use streaming, so they don't have to be fast, just graphically capable. I have a budget of $200 each for these.
Requirements:
Wireless Ready
Small form factor
720p capable
USB port for an external DVD drive
Decent Looking
Thanks in advance,
