Anyone running HTPC's ? (TV PC) If so post pics and specs.

I've been thinking about building one for quite some time. I'd kinda like to see what all you guys/gals have going on. I plan to use mine to surf, play arcade games, watch tv, ect.

I got a studio/gaming/multimedia computer if that counts but its a mid tower and connected to my TV, it runs Mac OSX and Windows 7 Dual Boots

Are you running Hackintosh?

I also have mid tower gaming PC connected to my TV. Mine runs Win 7 and Ubuntu (just for a backup). It's an Intel quad core, 4GB ram, GTX 560Ti, 2x 1TB storage and 120GB SSD.

If I were to build one separate from my gaming pc, I'd do AMD A-series quad core, 8GB ram, 1TB+ storage, small SSD for boot drive, maybe 60GB. Assuming space wasn't an issue, I'd stick with a mid tower case so that it could be expandable in the future and I could ensure it got proper air flow.

Yessir, Hackintosh

I was thinking a Silverstone Cubish looking case, or doing some sort of form factor pc when the time and money allowed.
