^ most media players these days can see your files on your home server. I'd just look into something that supports Plex. Even PS3 media server works. I wouldn't go out of my way to get a HTPC esp if they're not tech-savvy.

Yesterday I picked up some parts from NCIX and thought I could put it together. After installing everything and booting up the system for the first time, I noticed the video card wasn't working. Asked my buddy to check it out and turns out I didn't hook up the power. WTF? Video cards require power now? Damm, haha, how technology has changed.

some lower-end mid range cards are getting efficient enough that they dont require power connectors
