Ok, I jumped the gun on this one and ordered the blu ray drive from Amazon for $103. That is a nice deal for a blu ray drive with CD/DVD burner. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Super-Multi-Blu-ray-Combo-CT21N/dp/B003E91KM6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317512128&sr=8-1 . There was a Sony one for $100 but I preferred LG. Which you choose is up to you. Seems the average going rate for these drives is $129-$200. While I was in the ordering mood I decided to just order the HDD. I wish I could go for a nice 1TB but remember our power limitations, so I went with a 250GB drive for $44.99 from Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136387 250GB
This should be more than enough space for OS, Boxee/XBMC, and game emulators.
Today I decided to not only make it a HTPC but also a emulator box. I mean why not be able to play legacy games as well as watch whatever movies I want. I'd like to hear what you guys think.
Well, once the parts come in then construction will begin. See you then.
