Okay, this is my first htpc build. Before I start, I know I went overboard, i'm not going to lie like half of these other people on here and say something like "well I had these parts laying around." No, these parts I did not have laying around, they're all brand new, I knew I was going overboard, and i'm very, very happy with my selection so far.
I ended up with:
Processor: Intel i7 920 LGA1366
(with D0 spec, it will be overclocked)
Processor Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P (Heatpipe Cooler W/ 2XNH-P12 120MM Fan)
Socket compatibility Intel Socket LGA1366
Height (without fan) 158 mm
Width (without fan) 126 mm
Depth (without fan) 71 mm
Height (with fan) 158 mm
Width (with fan) 126 mm
Depth (with fan) 95/120* mm
Weight (without fan) 600 g
Weight (with fan) 770/940* g
Motherboard: Asus P6T
Graphics Card: Radeon HD 5770 XFX
Memory: OCZ Technology 2GB PC3 12800 (x3 = 6GB)
Hard Drive(s): 1.0TB WD Caviar Black
(SATA/32MB Cache, I plan on having two of these, and two other smaller drives (4 total drives inside the case). The two 1.0TB for storage, and the two smaller drives in a RAID0 to hold Win 7 Ultimate for faster loading.
I got a pretty decent deal on most of it, however, now i'm looking for a PSU (have no idea what type or wattage I need). Also looking for a case under $200 that will fit all of the listed above (including the 4 drives). Would be nice if it came with a remote and lcd, but I can deal with it if it doesn't...
Honestly, the cheaper the better with the case, i'd like to know what nicer options I have, and what cheaper options I have. I saw the Antec Fusion Remote Max in the guide, but I wasn't sure if it would be big enough to deal with the Noctua Cooler... I'm willing to go with a nice cheap case (even a tower) if it can muffle all the internal fans, and give really good airflow with larger, less audible intake and exhaust fans. Since i'm overclocking, cooling is going to be priority. I would also want to keep the fans attached to the heatsink, so taking them off to make room isn't an option. If anyone has any input on quieter fans that would perform just as well (or better), i'd be open to hearing about that too.
Oh, and its going to be hooked up to a Panasonic Plasma, and an Onkyo HT6200, if that matters to anyone.
Thanks for reading.
