As part of our concluding note, we don’t have really much to add. This HTPC while being fairly powerful and capable of great playback can still be improved upon. We really had fun building this machine and as usual wait eagerly for feedback from our users. If you feel we can improve on any feature and would like to discuss this feature, we would love to hear from you on our forums.

If we replace the OS with an equally capable linux version, what are the changes in the specifications? Does any of these H/W dont work with linux?
Please reply, since I will love to build a linux powered media center PC.

Divert the budget of sound card for a good Cabby and SMPS say Antec Fusion or above.
