Hi All,
i have just bought a Silverstone CW01S-R Amazon had 2 on special for $130.00 so i grabbed one
I am just putting my shopping list together. At this stage after reading many threads, i am pretty sure i will be going with an A6-3500 based machine.
Is there any advantage/disadvantage of one Motherboard form factor over the other? I will run 2 x Blu Ray drives and may run a tv tuner card, but very little else, so i don't need lots of I/O options.
I need the M/B to pass through all the HD audio streams over HDMI and wake from remote would be a great benefit, although i assume wake from LAN would achieve the same ends if i use constellation/xbmotec on my iPhone.
I have read eskro's threads, thanks very much for these resources eskro
I have had a good run with Gigabyte boards in the past, and would like to use one of their products if there is no performance hit.
The only other thing i am contemplating is if i should wait for the upcoming Trinity APU's? I have read 2012 as a release date, but i can't find any info of when in 2012! If these will be released within 2 months, then i would probably wait for these, any one have a best guess on a release date?
Cheers
Steve
