You might want to mention flashing your Optical drive and forcing it to run at lower speeds for less noise.
Also, you might want to add a section about PCM capabilities.

While I think those are both valid suggestions for an HTPC guide, I'm not sure they really fall into the scope of "Beginner". I'll look into those topics as I don't know a ton about them myself. Any links you have to help myself & others learn more would be welcome.

Updated pricing on most items. Considering replacing the "High Budget" components with LGA 1156 / Core i5 suggestions. If anyone has good links where I can get to know more about the motherboards & the features they offer, they would be welcome.
Also need to figure out what to recommend as a Blu-ray/HD drive now that LG has done away with yet another brilliant drive for no apparent reason.

Updated recommended builds. High end is now Core i5, seems more powerful & efficient than Core 2 Quads of any stripe. Have also changed some PSU suggestions for better performance per dollar.
