After months of planning, I finally got all the parts needed. Im sporting a beautiful Antec Fusion case from newegg, 160gb Harddrive, Hauppauge 150 Tuner, Intel Retailedge Motherboard, 1gb G.Skill ddr2 800 Memory, 430 Watt PSU that came with the case, MCE Remote/Receiever/Blaster. I have it working with my Comcast Set Top Box, I had to fish the ethernet cable through the wall. I have it connected to my trusty Belkin 54g Router. My Media Server/Gaming machine is sharing about a terabyte of media. I have the Media Center on the HTPC showing the shared data on the media server and also working with MKV high def files (1080p, 720p Movies). I replaced a DVD Player, CD Player, etc. I have the audio going from the HTPC via TOSLINK SPDIF to input on the Sony Receiver. Since the TV it is connected to is just 720p im using a VGA cable (my 42" 1080p is connected to the media server/gaming rig). So far I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results, the case is amazing and QUIET!!
