Hey,
So I decided against buying a HP MicroServer and want to build a HTPC now.
Is there anything new coming early next year?
I know there is always sth new but I could wait 1 month so if anything releases in Jan 2012.
Right now I only use it for SD and a bit HD but it should be able to play 3d HD and run every Skin smoothly.
Here is what I was planing to buy:
Board: ASRock A75 (Not really sure which one, I need IR but I cant really find out which one has build in IR)
CPU: A6-3500 (Dont think I need Quad)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4gb (I have a 2x2 kit in my Desktop any problems with the board/cpu?)
Case/PSU: I want a flat case (dont really know how they are called, format like an AV Receiver) with IR and need a good PSU for 2-3 HDD and the PC
CPU Fan: I dont really know how loud the Boxed cooler is so maybe a new one.
The PC should be as quit as possible.
Right now I have a HDD but I want to buy a SSD later and more HDDs when the price drops.
As OS I want to use openelec which seems to have problems with AMD so if that doesnt work Win7.
