Hi everyone I am looking into building the cheapest HTPC ever. Is this doable? I am unsure about where to start. I looked into the barebone foxconn systems that run the e350 cpu's but I found reviews stating that the CPUs could barely handle netflix+. Energy efficiency is important.
Thanks in advance!
Case (barebones? / HTPC case?). The smaller the better:
Motherboard:
power supply:
Processor:
Low profile graphics card if needed:
Ram:
HD:
Approximate Purchase Date: 5/21/2012
Budget Range: 300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: HTPC for a 46 samsung LED.. It only has 2 HDMI connections!
Parts Not Required: already have a windows 7 license
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Small form factor case. possibly intelG530 w/ low profile card?
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: HTPC duty, hulu, netlix, web surfing, youtube flash video
Additional Comments: Quiet and small form factor
