where did you get your AMD A8-3870 for $100 and how

[Goulet99]

Got it from ncix as a package deal with the motherboard for $200 around 4 weeks ago. So just averaged the 2 to $100 each.

very nice HTPC, is the PSU noisy?

[Goulet99]

PSU is 275 watt I believe. No fan noise at all, unit is very quiet. Case also has 1x 80mm fan as well. Was thinking I would have to replace that but it is very quiet as well.

[Jetster]

Nice and clean combination. Keep us updated on how its working

[eskro]

oh well, a quiet stock 80mm fan, keep it secret
