I already have a nice case for this, as well as a hard drive, PSU, and I don't need a DVD-Rom drive at this time since it will just be streaming my HD rips. I just wanted to get some advice on the more knowledgeable HTPC people in here.
Currently my plan is to just buy the motherboard, Processor, and RAM then go from there. I will be running it wired on my 10/100 switch and just stream through windows shares using VLC.
I will be using the onboard video from this motherboard. as well as the audio.
I will also have this processor and 1gb of ram.
Will this do HD streaming from my PC well enough? Should I get a video card or faster processor or more ram? Should I run vista ultimate, XP MCE? Xp pro? I really just planned on running XP pro.
