HTPC Build

I'm thinking about building an HTPC and putting Boxee on it on top of Lubuntu 10.

Here is the public link to my list... Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

Any suggestions are welcome.

Stay away from the CX Builder series of Corsair PSU's. They are not good quality, believe it or not. Also stay away from G.skill ram.

Hm. Still weary of G.Skill? Just out of curiosity GLC, where do you get your information on this stuff? Haha. Anyways, I took you advice and went with Antec PSU and Kingston RAM.
