That Antec box looks sweet Mick! $400 is nice and affordable too.

I am looking at setting up a HTPC too since I just moved. Previously, I had my main PC close enough to the TV setup that I just directly connected them and used the same wireless mouse/keyboard. At my new place, that wont work.

Do the advantages of a dedicated HTPC (like yours - love the case) outweigh using Win7 and a PS3? What are the advantages? My main PC has over 4TB of storage, so Hdd capacity is not a factor for me.

I already have a PS3. Either way I will have to run network cable across the whole house because, like you, I have had no luck with wireless keeping up to 1080p.
