I have two builds for a HTPC. I want to buy somewhat soon maybe in the next month. It will need to play 1080p playback of some home videos and I want to learn to stream my TV through it. I'm pretty set on mini ITX but I can be persuaded to go with Micro ATX. I already have a WD green 1.5TB hdd that i'm going to use. I'm pretty set on the i3, from what I know its a good CPU.
Parts I'm set on:
Antec case:
(I'm pretty sure i'll need a bigger power supply)
