Almost exactly two years ago I got the community's help in picking out components for a small form factor home PC. The Shuttle case I'd bought just gave out, and it's time for a new PC. I need help picking out components for either a barebones system or a full DIY. Here are my requirements:
1) This will be a home theater PC only, so it must be quiet.
2) Can't be too big since it has to sit in my living room.
3) The specs don't need to be insane since this will only be used for watching videos, listening to music, and maybe occasionally going online. Definitely no gaming.
That's about it. I'm open to any and all suggestions. I have been thoroughly checking out antec cases, but anything quiet would be great. That shuttle I had made quite a racket.
One note: within reason budget is not really an issue. This will be a box that gets used quite a bit and I want it to be quality.
