Just discovered this forum today. Been working on a build separately, and glad to see it looks like a lot of what I was thinking works!

But then I saw this build (and the other miniITX builds).

So a couple questions that I just don't see:

I'm considering this build with an OCZ 32Gb SSD, 4Gb (2x2) of RAM, Blu-Ray player, and using it with a remote (since the Mobo supports CIR ... awesome). Planning on loading linux (probably Ubuntu 11.04) with XBMC, streaming from NAS, and watching blu-ray / dvd's on it.

I wonder about heat:

Is this supposed to be just fine with the stock HSF and no other internal fan required?

Also, if someone's made this, how loud /is/ the stock HSF unit? Should it be replaced (and is there room?).

Seems this kind of miniITX build is absolutely perfect for a HTPC build ... I just worry about space in it and heat build-up.

Also, in my experience, linux can be a PITA with some integrated graphics. Anyone built this with linux yet?

Looks like an awesome build. Out the door for around $400 with all the extra features. Just have to find a CIR module, I guess!

Wondering if the stock HSF on amd a8-3850 is loud as well? What would be a good low profile replacement?

Most boxed coolers suck.
I like scythe maybe the Big Shuriken 2.

AMD stock HSF's are noisy to me.

Just got my setup up and running with the 3500, and all i can say is OMG. It's damn fast and smokes the E350 in every possible way. When Bluray stated the E350 was sluggish, i totally understand what he means now.

The only concern i have right now is, and maybe someone can help is;

I have the unit with HDMI into my TV. I only show XBMC and Windows that there is only a 2 speaker setup (auto detects?) and that XBMC cannot initiate the sound card in Digital mode (switches to Analog). I'm hoping when it goes into the receiver tonight/tomorrow that it doesn't give me this problem.
