Okay so here's what I'm thinking for my HTPC build. Anyone experienced with them let me know what you think?
AMD Phenom II X2 555
I know nothing about this case manufactor
ASUS mobo
Power Supply
ODD
Ceton InfintiTV
RAM
Waiting on price to go down before I get a HDD. But what I want to do is connect this rig to my TV through the mobos HDMI. And I'm gonna get a cablecard from my cable company it's only 2 bucks a month. WHat do y'all think?

Just ordered all of my stuff...
Pretty nervous because this will be my first build and I'm gonna attempt to build it myself, but I think I should be OK.
Definitely didn't need the i5 2500K, but I might get into PC gaming at some point, so I figured I'll just get a good CPU now.
Obviously I'll need a GPU, too, but onboard graphics are fine for now.
Item List:
1 x ($21.99) DVD BURNER LITE-ON | IHAS124-04 % - OEM
1 x ($189.99) SSD 120G|OCZ VTX3-25SAT3-120G R
1 x ($49.99) CASE ANTEC| ONE HUNDRED RTL
1 x ($139.99) MB ASUS|P8P67 LE (REV 3.0) P67 1155
1 x ($99.99) MS WIN 7 HOME SP1 64BIT 1PK - OEM - OEM
1 x ($224.99) CPU INTEL|CORE I5 2500K 3.3G 6M R
1 x ($69.99) PSU ANTEC|BP550 PLUS RT
1 x ($49.99) MEM 4Gx2|GSKILL F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
1 x ($20.99) KB&MS LOGITECH | MK120 R
1 x ($25.99) CPU COOLER CM| RR-B10-212P-G1 RT

I'd honestly be fine w/ the stock heatsink,
.
The only thing I'm doing on this build right now is playing online poker.
If I start playing games I'd probably look into getting a better one.

It's all good, but why the Ceton ?, I know they released a driver update to assign tuners over the network but it has to be locked to a computer.
The HDhomerun prime is cheaper, its a network pool of tuners instead of hard assigned and you can always add more. But if you really need 4 simultaneous tuners for recording at the same time than the ceton is your best bet.
I plan to setup a CableCard MCE setup as well, but I will be getting a book-size barebone system, A i3 or i5 system.
Either Mac Mini
or one of these http://www.amazon.com/Gia...id=1322869452&sr=1-3

I'd rather have something that I can plug into my computer rather than a router because my internet is really spotty.
But I was looking and I couldn't really find anything, but I don't need that Ceton, I only need a tuner for one card. Couldn't find too many like that.

so when you get a cable card do they program it with your channel bundle?

Yo I just looked at that system you posted. That looks perfect for what I'll be needing it for and it'll save me about 400 bucks.
Never heard of booksize before. I need to look into this more
