Do any of you guys have expirience building one of these??
I just purchased a nice motherboard (Computer Shopper mag recommended it), dual core AM2 processor (NOBODY should own anything other than AMD processors), and 2 GB of KINGSTON (only the best) 800mHz DDR2 ram. I already have a TV card.
Anything else I need??
How about a life?Quote:

As much Hard Drive space as you can afford, a dual tuner TV card, an XBox 360 for use as a media center extender.Quote:

I only have a 250 GB SATA drive for now, but there are 4 SATA connections on the motherboard.
Haven't thought about the XBox... explain more about that to me.
Get an original XBox and use XBMC (google it).
Best application in the world.
Ordered my RAM, Motherboard, and processor on the 11th, and NEWEGG.com had the package at my doorstep last evening!!
I love me some newegg.com!!

Called the customer service and they said that it's frozen. They got a bad batch of VGA inputs a while back. If I would have hooked it up with HDMI instead, they think that it would have been fine. They are replacing my TV.... thank goodness.
