Hello Everybody! This is my first post on this forum. I am looking to build a HTPC setup which will serve the following specific requirements:
Ive been searching the net for components that suit my requirements & this is what I think can do the job.
Inverter APS ES 650VA.
Cabinet iball i7299.
SMPS iball Sprinter 500W.
Motherboard Asus P7H55D-M EVO.
Processor Intel Core i5 660 3.33GHz.
RAM OCZ 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz Gold Edition RAM.
Hard Disk
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB WD20EARS,
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB WD10EARS.
Graphic Card ATI Radeon HD 4890 (if required).
Display BenQ M2700 HD.
TV tuner Card One that is compatible with the above mentioned DTH services providers. All suggestions are welcome.
Wireless Keyboard/Mouse - Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700.
External Bluetooth - All suggestions are welcome.
Any ideas about how much this setup would cost? I've gone with 2 hard drives so that all my data can rest on one hard drive while the OS & application runs on the other one. Also would like to if this is a good enough configuration for my kind of requirements. Thanks.
- Should capable of playing 1080p movies flawlessly.
- Should be capable of handling AutoCAD 2009 & Photoshop CS3 running together (stuck with Windows 7 because of AutoCAD otherwise Ubuntu would have been my choice of OS).
- The obvious ones (browsing, word processing, youtube, torrent downloads) etc.
- Screen should be clearly visible from a distance of 8-10 feet and can be controlled by wireless keyboard/mouse from the same distance.
- No gaming.
- Should be able to play & record Tata Sky or Videocon D2H.
- Power consumption should be as low as possible because this will be my entertainment center in addition to being my primary workstation.
- Total cost including display (TV/Monitor) shall not exceed 80k (the lesser the better).
- This setup will be there for 5yrs (or even more).
- Should have external Bluetooth.
