Case was $229+$60 or so for the Power Supply The 1TB drive was around $110. Each pcHDTV card was around $110, so $240. Motherboard and processor were probably $140. I have more exact numbers at home. I may post that at some point. I think when I first built it, I was somewhere between $600 and $800. I've slowly changed things and will be upgrading to 4GB of Memory the next time I find a reason to open up my case. But honestly the largest cost was the case itself. I only needed that large of a case because it was my backend server as well as my frontend. In the future, I would like to have a much smaller frontend below my TV and a larger backend hidden from sight. @Cymor
