Zalman VF900 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118001 WinTV hybrid video recorder http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_inf...cardstv-tuners MCE Remote control http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_inf...emote-controls The problem with a gaming/HTPC computer is that gaming computer happen to be loud and hot, 2 things an HTPC cannot be. Any of you see any conflicts? I have AS5 and AS cleaning stuff, though this would be my first build. I have taken apart and reassembled a desktop and a laptop, and they both worked, so I am not a complete hardware newbie. Thanks for your time. eagle |

The 380w PSU is on the small side with the 7900GS. They recommend a minumim of 400w.
Would go with Corsair DDR2 667 Value Select. Kingston has had problems lately.
