RE: Raspberry Pi as a HTPC
I'd like to make a Raspberry Pi HTPC, similar to a set top box, any tips or ideas, or even ways that i could hook up a SATA Hard Drive to it without a SATA-USB connector?

Re: RE: Raspberry Pi as a HTPC
A good starting point (for the software) is XBMC.
If you search around here and the Internet for XBMC and RaspberryPi you will find thousands of references and some per-built distributions.
As for connecting the drive - I think that you will struggle to avoid using USB for local connection (although going via Ethernet to a remote set of drives is very common).
