The HTPC is really just a media/web surfing box for me. I stream tons of stuff but don't record anything. If I get a tuner to record live TV I'll upgrade. I only have pictures and some music on the machine right now, maybe 150 gigs total. This place has also taught me to almost abhor overkill. I'm kind of getting off on building exactly what I need for the lowest price possible. Now on the other hand my dad is a gamer and I plan on building him a beast after Christmas and do some oc'ing and benching.
I should be posting a build log, pics and comments next Tuesday hopefully.
