Hello forum. New to the forum, and wanted to say hi.
Just finished the main part of my HTPC build.
Silverstone LC-17 case
ASUS MOBO
AMD A8-3870 quadcore 3.0Ghz CPU
16gb RAM
ASUS BR-Rom DVD Burner
only sporting 1 500gb HDD but got a 3tb on the way should be here in a few days.
Going to add a Ceton Infinty 4 PCIe card to it as well as more drives.
I started my PC build then my 12 year old Techinecs amp went belly up on me. So gotta get a new one OH DARN. I run it on my Panosonic 42" plasma tv. She is older as well but still has a bright crisp image. I am very mindful of burn in.
I currently live in a townhouse but once I buy a house (In about 5 years) I am going all out with a 300" screen theater style seating and 7.1.

Like my HT buddy said man you are GO BIG or go home aren't you.
Hey gotta plan for the future. After 8 years in the Army and moving 3 times I am sick of moving. Told the wife I have 1 move left in me. After that we are stuck.
She wanted to move back home to Ohio (I'm a Calie boy by birth Virginian by choice) I found a nice place that had an outdoor projector that had a 50' screen on the wall of the house from inside a rock next to the pool. It was a sweet set up.

What region of Virginia? I'm recently moved to the Chantilly area. And after we're moved into a home this year, hope to get to my HTPC building.

No problem. Next time you're in town, send a note. It's a short drive for me.
Maybe we can do a regional HTF meet next year.
