Default Building a HTPC...

I wanna use a wii-mote for the mouse due to ease of use.

Anyone build a HTPC and have any suggestions on what equipment would be good?

you can use just about any pc as a htpc. if you want the look then go for one of them component looking cases. then add whatever video card and sound card you need.

no idea on using the wii remote for the mouse but if you like that type of control you can also try the logitech air mouse. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mi.../3443&cl=us,en

Yeah I really just need a new case and some Sata HDD's figure 1-2TB should start us offh: Need to find some good dvr software too. We don't use the desktop much anyway.
