My HTPC Build:

ASRock H67M-ITX LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 & stock cooler

1 80mm fan I had laying around, Maybe

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL

PNY RVCGGT4301XXB GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM SATA 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu Ray 3D Feature IHBS112-04

Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive

All going into an antique silverware case made of wood. (Blends nicely with my wife's tastes and only cost $7)

Actually planning on running XBMC off a usb 3.0 and not sure If I want the BR drive so really only need to power the mobo, ram, i3, and gt430

This is strictly for XBMC.

Outervision psu calc (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine) recommends min 176w - 233w with the drives and 102w -152w w/o HDD,DVD drive, and GPU

I want to use a pico to keep the case open and airy/cool but have room for a mini itx/1U pso if I have to.

Any suggestions are appreciated as this is my first htpc build and I would like to keep the drives and GPU.
