    budget htpc recommendations

    No recording, not much actualy tv/cable/sat stuff planned. Now I know even less what to choose lol. Would that dual core be better than the quad? Going less green is ok, keeping heat and noise down would be nice but speed and the possibility of doing some gaming sounds nice. Def no Windows Media...

    Im not really too familiar with them either. Was hoping I could get a 2tb 7200 caviar green at a deal. Might have to lurk around a while to find it, buy something to hold me over for now.

    budget htpc recommendations

    I don't think I need to a blu-ray drive yet. Budget around $300 I guess, seems low but it looks like it covers it all, but I can spend more. I will probably try to do a little gaming, but I dont know how bad I would pay $ for trying to play some high end stuff on mini atx. 1080p a lot.

    Just purchased speakers need reciever

    Im still up in the air. Onkyo sounds like the way to go but 2 hours radius around me from craigs isnt yielding anything.

    an economy setup - any suggestions

    For the mobo would a ASUS P5KPL be a viable option? It has better reviews than the boards you guys mentioned, but like you said dont trust the reviews.

    an economy setup - any suggestions

    The processor suggestion seems to be a better idea I just needed someone to tell me it was ok haha. Is that motherboard and processor the best choice even if I could spend a little more on them? There are so many different variations to them im too ignorant at this point to know a difference.
