SSDs in an HTPC???

(Okay my bedroom HTPC currently has a vertex2 in it LOL, but that will change after I get a second and it goes into the gaymer).

Are you going with an external tuner or waiting for ceton and comcast to adopt the m-cards?

Also the 5400RPM drives would be a better choice for the HTPC, less heat and energy, same 70+MB/s transfer rates (At least mine pull 70+ over gigabit... my 2TB drives are 5400 RPM I think as well. no problems streaming HD from them )

The Western Digital Cavier Black is mainly just for backup, storage of pics and what not. Got to stay with the SSD's. No if ands or buts on that. I about bought one of these Mushkin's for my laptop but decided just to get a 7200RPM drive for it. Like I said I started out conservative on this build but just wasn't satisfied. Starting to kinda get off on this little rigs. Next one I will build even more small and more powerful.

Using the Samsung 40" TV for the monitor/TV. Wife and I canceled the cable a month ago as we were tired of paying $100 for nothing. We can watch all our cable shows on the internet for free. And I mean free as I don't pay for the internet!!! Job pays for it.

Can you believe I crammed a 120mm fan in this thing?
