 | D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Attached Storage Enclosure
Buy used from: $369.00 This bad boy has 2 expandable hard drive bays, bittorrent downloader, itunes server, PNP server and much more. This is what the entire media center revolves around.

 | TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless Easy-N-Upgrader (TEW-637AP)
Buy new: $41.80 / Used from: $27.49 This upgrades my current G wireless to N wireless, which will be essential for streaming movies to my bedroom media center device.
|
 | Western Digital WD TV Live Network-ready HD Media Player
Buy new: $128.20 / Used from: $60.00 I looked forever for a media center device to access the NAS. The interface is rated the best and the price is right. There are warnings about the automatic updates bricking the unit, but if you're careful about that, this should be the best one for the money.

 | Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Ultra Compact Client USB 2.0 Adapter WLI-UC-GN
Buy used from: $15.77 The WD TV Live only accepts a few types of wireless adapters. This is the most reasonably priced and best rated, as well as tiniest.
|
 | HDMI Male to Male 1m+Screen Cleaning Cloth Yellow
Buy new: $1.97 Throw in a few HDMI cables. The best way to access your HD content on HD devices. Nearly all HDMI cables are the same, and there is absolutely no reason to pay for expensive ones. Monster Cables are over rated and over priced. Go for cables that have a good rating, I've seen a few dissatisfied customers for the ones going for $0.79, so use your best judgment.

 | Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote with Color Touchscreen
Buy new: $159.99 This is pretty pricey, and there are a few cheaper ones out there like the Logitech Harmony 880 or the URC-R50 Digital R50 Universal Remote Control. Even the
Sony RM-VL600 8-Device Universal Learning Remote could probably get the job done, and at $20, it's the cheapest of the bunch.
|
 | NEW SONY DAV-DZ120 5 PIECE SURROUND SOUND SPEAKERS
$37 for surround sound speakers. Not sure why there so cheap or what they'll sound like, but seems like the best deal with the highest customer reviews.
|
 | Sony SS-B1000 5 1/8-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
Buy new: $43.00 / Used from: $35.31 Again, seems like a great deal for some decent bookshelf speakers.
