I have been peacing this project togther for the last couple months. Finaly it was semi finished today (Thank God). This was a big deal for me $$$ I am an out of work IronWorker and took a temp job welding at a recycling company working 7 11 1/2 work week, so i decided to take on this project as a treet for myself (something to keep me going to that place everyday) i got layed off as i was ordrering the AMD A8-3870K, anyways its put together and all the parts seem to be working.
Heres my list thanks to Eskro
AMD A8-3870K ($119 at neww egg)
ASRock MB-A75M Socket FM1/ AMD A75 FCH/ SATA3&USB3.0/ A&GbE/ Micro ATX Motherboard ($75 at amazon)
Corsair XMS3 4GB ( 2 x 2GB ) 1600mhz PC3-12800 240-pin DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit for Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms 4 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM CMX4GX3M2B1600C9 ($29 at amazon)
Seasonic SS-400ET 400W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply ($54 at NCIX)
SilverStone Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX Media Center/HTPC Case ML03B (Black)
($60 at Amazon)
I ran out of money after that due to the lay off so im using an older laptop hardrive but it works
I say semi built because i want to add a BD on it and a better hard drive preferably a SSD than it will be complete.
I am watching XBMC on it and my movies are stored on a WD my book attached to my main computer in my bedroom.
I also like to say that i am colpletely addicted to this site im on it all the time reading and lerning a little bit to. Thanks guys for all the help that you put into this place. This allows a regular joe to have acess and abilty to build the most intense Htpc (this is what makes me happy and at times this is what keeps me going
