HTPC

So I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the parts for a HTPC for my living room. Once I get it all built and setup, I’m probably going to cancel my cable subscription. I’m pretty excited about the specs of the new machine:

  • Intel Core i3-530 2.93GHz (with on-die HD graphics)
  • Biostar Eco i2 case & motherboard w/Intel H55 chipset & IR remote
  • 2 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
  • 500GB 7200 RPM HD
  • DVD/CD RW
  • 802.11 b/g/n USB adapter

All for about $400 shipped. I’m hoping to get everything in by Friday so I can build it over the weekend. Then I’ll slap Windows 7 and Boxee on it and watch me some hulu.

Have your say
