DIY HD HTPC Extravaganza missing Part 2?

Hello all.

This is my first post so please be kind!!

I'm about to build my first HTPC and have read part 1 & 3 of DIY HD HTPC Extravaganza.

The trouble is i can't find Part 2 anywhere??

I've clicked the link in part 3 that should take me to part 2 but it takes me to part 1.

I don't suppose someone has the link to part 2 or can email the file to me so i can print it off?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Its not hard. What do you want to know?

Thanks, my main concern is the size restrictions with a HTPC case and i don't want to order something that isn't going to fit, i.e CPU cooler, graphics card etc...

My TV is a Toshiba 42" 1080p LCD hooked up to a Technics surround sound amp. I have a wired broadband connection already for my PS3 which i'll probably use for the HTPC once its installed so i don't need wireless.

My budget is around £500, for this i need a small SATA drive for the operating system and at least a 500GB for all my movies music etc

Preferably a dual core processor not fussed if it AMD or Intel but would prefer a Core 2

2GB or RAM, again not fussed on spec

I won't be using it for gaming so the graphics card doesn't need to be high end but i do want a HDMI output straight to the TV

Don't need Blu-ray as i use my PS3 and i already have a Accuratus Toughball keyboard/track ball, i'll get a cheap DVD burner. I would like a memory card reader but it isn't essential, but must have front mounted USB ports

I need to whole system to be as quiet as possible.

The only thing i am fussy on is the case, it has to be black, fairly small so it can sit under my amp, something like a Antec Fusion, nmedia HTPC200, Silverstone LC16, Thermaltake Bach, the silverstone is about as large as i'd go

Hopefully this gives you a rough idea of what sort of system i'm looking for?

Many thanks

E2160/2180
8800GT 512MB (esp. if gaming on that 42" or is this strictly a HTPC for recording TV,etc?)
2GB DDR2 800
Corsair 450

I have no idea if the case would fit a full ATX or if it's a mATX, so I will hold recommendations out on that.

Imo, I think atm, AMD might have a better option for HTPC, Don't have much experience with AMD stuff now esp. since Intel has been doing well with the C2Ds.

Yeah, the 780G + 65W Phenom is probably the best choice.

Every thing looks good. Only thing concerning is the PSU. It is not a well known brand.
