A6-pack within InWin

Hi all and thank you XBMC community for a wide range of suggestions to make you a good htpc that can serve you well for a long time!

I just wanted to show off my A6-pack. It is nothing special about the inner parts, or even the case itself. What I wanted to show is what you need to expect from this combo if you ever want to get same parts for A6-pack as I did.

ASRock A75M-ITX
A6-3500
Scythe Shuriken Rev.B SCSK-1100
G.Skill F3 2x2gb
OCZ Agility 3 - 60gb SSD (no comments needed Wink )
InWin BP655
LG BR-RW

The main reason I am posting is this:

You think what´s wrong with it? Actually nothing.

Just be aware if you ever decide to buy this ITX case, it comes with 200w PSU, and this PSU has average connectors. So if you plan to use Scythe Shuriken Rev.B SCSK-1100 or similar CPU cooler then your ODD will not fit in this case. It will miss like 5-10mm. Solution is to get 90 deg. SATA data and power cables. Luckily A75M-ITX comes with one 90deg. sata data cable, so just go and get the sata power cable with 90deg. connector.

For future proof I suggest you to change all cooler fans what comes with this case, including inside the PSU. They do a loud noise and this pissed me off within first day I used my htpc. Tongue

For now I am pleased with this A6.pack build. Just waiting a Inteset CIR receiver and remote I ordered from ebay.

Oh thanks for this post!

This case is on my list (the $47.99 price tag on Amazon is tempting.) but I am still undecided on ITX vs. micro-atx. Space is not a terrible concern of mine...

If you don't have problem with space, bigger case is always better. You'll have more room to grow and more room for air flow.....
