i'm going to build my first HTPC. I live in Austria.
I would like to have:
- Best xbmc experience (snappy and full control)(internet video streaming is important)
- Capability of run light to medium games (Like Dolphin-wii emulator or Mortal Kombat 2011)
- Ability to access the pc when i'm far from home (start torrent, http.proxy, access some files) (would be the best with some kind on wake on lan stuff)
- Satellite TV
- Quietness in idle and when playing movies

I have been thinking of two ways for HTCP positioning.
Option 1
One of the spaces on the bottom. 47cm wide, 40cm depth, 14cm height
The back of each of them has one hole for cables. Airflow quite limited.
Option 2
Tv on top of the Case.
I have a Panasonic l42u3b

The base measures 40x28,5 cm
I built the Mediashelf differently from the picture. I have a lot of space between the TV upper border and the shelf on top of it so height wouldn't be an issue.
Can you help me out with your opinions/build ideas?
Thanks you all,
Valerio
