A) Read through the stickies at the top

B) 4 TB of what?

C) At least do a search of this sub-forum for other peoples builds
 
Im sorry i mean 4 tb of hardrive space but i will just be getting 1tb drive at first. What is the cheapest cpu you can get that will play blueray back just fine.Im confused about DRm to and will ripped bluerays play on your pc just fine.Just give me the best specs you think you need and im looking at the AMD 780G chipset since its the best onboard video
 
AMD 4050e is plenty becuase the video processing is offloaded to the IGP

Ripped blu-Rays will work if you have AnyDVD.

D) Realise the software is majorly immature and by a super cheap BR player or a PS3 (best BR player on the market).

As much as I love my HTPC I don't see any point in adding a BR drive to it due to the lack of proper software support (ie VMC doesn't support BR playback; you have to go outside of VMC and launch PowerDVD instead).

Excellent point.
 
amd 4050e hmm I dont see that anywhere do you mean intels 4050e?Also wouldnt amd cpu be cheaper and what would be just fine for blueray
 
nice its cheap :) So what i want to do is the blueray movies i buy i want to rip them to my hardrive so i shouldnt have any issues playing them back like that ?Thanks you are very helpful guys
 
What do you think is the best motherboard that has 780 chipset and do you think that is the best chipset for a htcp and also what is a good cheap case
 
I didnt realize it was being phased out...no need to flame me...its the same proc just higher speed.
