I am going to build a HTPC and get rid of my Sat box for TV. The machine will be used for sat TV, downloads, BBC Iplayer etc.
I have come up with the following, can anyone advise if the following sounds ok? I am not really a computer expert, but can build it and get the thing up and running with any luck
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI Intel G35 Micro_ATX 775 DDR2 motherboard

Antec Fusion case
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-091-AN
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...aranteed to run at 3.20GHZ (1600FSB) - Retail
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 DHX PC2-6400C5DHX TwinX (2x1GB)

I will need a fan for the CPU, not sure which one, I already have the HDD & CD/DVD drive.
On top of this I plan to add a Technotrend Satellite PCI card for the TV

I am working to a budget here and want to really build the best system I can to watch mainly HD channels, act as a download station and play out films from the hdd.
Do you guys think the above sounds ok, or would you change things around?
Thanks Frenchman
