@RI4NG Thx for asking. As you might have noticed from my other Video-Posts, I'm a producer. This song I couldn't publish cause the singer tragically died in a plane-crash (licensing issues...). It's a remix of "Be my Lover" from "La Bouche" (2006)
Deadly looking PC but I notice you have an Xbox right there. It can be used as a media extender so couldn't you have put the PC in a different room and had added versatility?? Looks great though..
Whatch it again ;-) You'll see some screenshots of rather modern games. unfortunately with nowadays onboard-graphics (as of end of 2008) you can't achieve half of the needed performance. So it's ok like i did it.
(2/3) - Graphics-Card: see CPU. I recommend HIS as a brand since they build (vor just about 10 Percent more price) the "IceQ"-Systems which are very silent.
- Mainboard: doesn't mather, just don't buy one that comes with active cooled components like chipset... looks cool but certainly to loud for a mediacenter
- Harddrive: the slower, the better. They're *all* fast enough for a Mediacenter (even for playing games). 7200 rpm.
(1/3) Thanks. Well, I could post the list of components, but since there are so many options to build "the perfect" ;-) Mediacenter and since the Hardware changes that fast, I'd rather response with the philosophie I used to build the system:
- Don't buy the fastest CPU available. Buy two categories slower which is *much* cheaper, less Power-consuming and therefore much easier to cool (silently)
Looks like a really nice system but it would help if you gave us a list of all the parts you used to build so we can all build one!

Just the Program that comes with Vista (which i hate pretty much ;-)). So: most likely (if you use Vista or XP) u can do the same ;-)

(3/3) - Optical Drive: doesn't matter but find a Software or Firmware-Patch to slow it down to 4-8x-Speed (usually fast enough and *much* more silent)
- Case: big enough for 80-120mm-Coolers. Silent Coolers which are smaller (like the Papst-Coolers in this Video) are *very* expensive
- Power-Supply: either Passiv cooled or with 120-140mm-Coolers. I recommend 80plus-Power Supplies.
Hope that helped :-)

Great system, can you put a full list of the parts used in the description!?
