Yeah I've been using the Yatse app for a few weeks now, I love that shyt bro. shyt has replaced the official XBMC remote, and I was rocking with that one hard. shyt is just so beautiful and clutch, one of those apps where you really just get an appreciation for what technology has become. I just be opening it sometimes when Im away from the crib and reading my metadata on all my media like "ahhh." If you using XBMC and got an Android phone, you need to get the app ASAP.

they have top notch software ( has android and plex app too)
price is not bad
doesnt look ugly

next thing i need to read up on is what type of RAID step up i want to run

Sorry breh, I don't have any experience with that kind of setup.
But I do know that Plex is piff so that has to be a nice additional feature that has.
Top capacity is 4TB and for $599.99 does it come with a courtesy hand job? As far as raid goes for media storage, no traditional raid is ideal. You are better off looking up things like Flexraid, Snapraid, FreeNas, Unraid. Flexraid is what I use on a 12TB array.

as far as raid setups go , am more interested in getting MAX capacity more than redundancy or drive backup , matter fact i want no type of backup lol
just need one portable/good looking place to store most of my movies and music that is then easily streamable to a TV, this thing seems to do the trick , and it has top notch software which is something that isnt easy to find with these nas things

My bad, ain't get what you had said when you mentioned 2x4TB's. Well you don't want any RAID. What you want is basic data spooling.
@GoldenGlove you have the roku running plex right? where is it pulling your media from, your computer ? a HTPC or a NAS?

k cool, ya am cop me a roku too , have it in combination with the synology nas (4TB worth of storage), use it for netflix etc
So I rebuilt my HTPC into a mini-itx build since what I had was overkill, (i5-3570k & matx board, 400w PSU)
Opted to go with an i3-3225 (still overkill
) & Asrock H77M-ITX motherboard this time around with this case, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Linkworld-Electronic-Home-Theater-Media/dp/B0077635W0"]Linkworld Electronics HTPC Case[/ame]
Pictures,
Case is about the size of a Slim 360.

It’s all in the Game Yo
Just built my first media PC, At work right now but here is what Im rolling with atm..
3 tb Harddrive, Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD, Intel - Core™ i5-3570K Processor, Corsair 300R case I wanted a receiver type look but couldn't really find any since we went to a physical store to get everything.
this motherboard
decided to get the blu ray burner later because I dont really burn them shyts. Any tips would be great

None that I could think of. Made some good choices. CPU can be overkill but it looks like you're planning on doing more than just media since you're going with the 300R case.
Edit: Actually, looking at the motherboard, it isn't compatible with the i5-3570k. You might want to check that out ASAP.
