Thank you very much in advance, B33T RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - eskro - 2012-04-04 your all set. good job. u made your homework! i would swap the 320GB HDD for a 64GB CRUCIAL SSD http://www.ebuyer.com/264770-crucial-64gb-m4-ssd-ct064m4ssd2 RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - Andori - 2012-04-04 One thing I spotted is that's the micro ATX board yet your case is mini ITX. RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - eskro - 2012-04-04 good catch Andori, i thought the op would at least get the correct mobo form factor.. RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - B33T - 2012-04-04 ah yes, good spot thanks, its due to the model only missing the -itx!. this is the mobo i meant! http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A75M-ITX http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Asrock-A75m-ITX-FM1-Usb-3-HDMI-Pc-ITX-Esata-Motherboard-/110763286545?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item19ca01a011#ht_3835wt_1396 RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - eskro - 2012-04-04 http://www.kikatek.com/product_info.php?products_id=248926&source=froogle RE: Build Check! my first HTPC! :) - Beer40oz - 2012-04-04 Nice... about to do the same build but with the 65W version of that case.... A6-3500..... from what I understand you don't need the 150w case... and the 65w case will be more silent.
