so you're just telling us what you're building or you want recommendations? cause if you've already bought the parts we can't help you

 

[BucsMAN3K]

Since I'm currently on my own building project I thought I'd share some of my research.

For the Sata drives, make sure they are Sata 3.0...I've read incidents where people have received models manufactured before the Sata II drivers...

And, unless you already ordered them no big deal, but the GT version of the 7600 can give noticible performance increase for maybe 30+ dollars more.

I don't think a 19" monitor counts as a htpc

 

[excellsior]

the 19" will be my secondary window so i can still play games/ internet while watching movies or cabletv

Ok I pretty much built my computer, but I am not sure about 2 things.
1. the jumper wires for power/hdd led/reset are in, but im wondering if i have it backwards.


jumpers
2468
13579

1,3 hdd led
2,4 pwr lef n/a for me
5,7 reset sw
6,8 power sw

there are 2 wires, colored and white. im not sure if color goes on 1 or 3, 5, 7, 6, 8 for each set or does it not matter?

also i need to get my audio cable for the cd-rom, but i was wondering should i connect it to the mobo, because i see that my creative x-fi extrememusic sc also has a connection that looks like it fits. i found nothing on the manual and site. so is it mobo or sc?
