I am building a computer to connect to my 32" Bravia, it will be used for music, streaming video (tv shows/ netflix), burning dvds, surfing etc. Little or no gaming. I would like it small, quiet, and relatively inexpensive, with usb ports in the front for IPODS/ cameras etc. and more in the back. I would like the option of running a seperate monitor nearby for more up close work (typing), my bravia accepts VGA and HDMI although I've heard HDMI can be kind of problematic. This is what I have so far, keep in mind that although I've had some help from a younger brother, I've never done this before. (these parts descriptions are copied right off of newegg)
