Topic: Help on some parts for my HTPC

[rain021]

Hey guys, I need help on some parts sa binubuo kong HTPC

1. Cheapest "cube" case. Anong mai-recommend niyo dito? Parang maganda yung astone sff(I have an mATX board btw) though proprietary ata yung PSU and medyo mahina for my taste, so sayang naman PSU ko.

2. Soundcard that has optical out. Coax out lang kasi yung built-in sa mobo ko. Asus Xonar U1 or Turtle Beach Riviera sana kaso wala naman ata available locally. Another option would be a coax-optical converter, which isn't available locally too.

3. Remote for Windows Media Center/XBMC/MediaPortal. I'm eyeing for the cdrking remote though I'm not sure kung gagana ng maayos kapag nakabili na ako ng Harmony. Or isa pang option ko dito is using the Wii Remote connected to the PC using bluetooth.

Well that's pretty much it.

Hey how are you going with your HTPC build?  I noticed, you post was Dec 2009.
