Get a dual analog tuner, it won't be as good of quality but its cheaper and you can record one and watch another. Plus the real fun of media center is when its hooked up to a tv and you watch downloaded movies.
Also are you going to be using the stock cpu cooler?

A couple of things about this new comp:
- Realized shortly after making that a different mobo would be better for my needs: only 3 sata inputs can be used for regular drives -> video card gets in the way of 1 and the sata5&6 slots are only for raid which i might do but don't really want to
- The drivers on the dvd that came with the mobo were f*cked; called up asus and basically had to just dl drivers after installing windows 3 times since it wouldn't let me load windows after installing the chipset drivers.
- This HD4870 is sick! I love everything about it so far and can't wait to post some scores on it in the near future. enjoy the pics.
Going to use some new thermal paste; got some artic silver 5 laying around but kinda old and just gunna get some new sh*t when i get an aftermarker heatsink/fan

Atleast someone knows good wiring management. Have a windowed case wire management is a requirement! Look like such a toolbag when it looks like shadow's crotch after a gay sex orgy.

Could have picked a better motherboard, but it's still decent. The 'RAID Only' slots can be used in regular JBOD(just bunch of disks) make sure RAID is disabled and they will function like normal SATA ports.
