    First HTPC build / Opinions?

    It is $156 at that link.... As far as gaming. The HD4000 will be just fine for what I am doing. Very minimal since it is sitting next to my i7 920 GTX 470 SLI machine.

    First HTPC build / Opinions?

    After going over Assassin's awesome free guide I picked up his paid guide. (Extremely well worth it btw) Below is the build I am looking at. Future proof for 3D with very light gaming. If I game it will be Diablo3/SC2/DOD:S which should run well enough to get by. $144.99 CPU: INTEL I3-3225...

    Silent 120mm case fans?

    So I feel dumb. It isnt the Slipstreams. It is the stock NZXT fans in the top. I thought they were hooked up to fan controller but they are not. And man are they loud.

    Cutting the cord and going HTPC

    I have 2 kids. (3 and 1) Are their any apps/channels you recommend on Plex and other suggestions for them. That is the biggest reason we subscribed to TV in the first place. Our daughter watches a lot of PBS Kids on the iPad.

    Cutting the cord and going HTPC

    I will be keeping my Verizon Quantum 50up/25down so I figure that will be plenty for the internet with only 2 TV's currently.

    Is Plex the best media server software out right now?

    I love it. Just started getting into the whole streaming scene though. Played with XBMC as well. Plex works great on all my iDevices. Looking to pick up a few Roku boxes as well to use Plex.

    2500k and 3570k for quiet PC?

    Sandy Bridge is still my fave. The IB's I've done seem to run a little hotter. Although they do use a little less power.
