Hi Guys I have spent many months looking at the hardware page I want to build an htpc using the Streacom case probably the FC8 Evo, but all the threads I read talk about problems fitting motherboard and cpu, is there a mother board that just slots in without any problems, all I want this to do is run Openelec (Frodo) play all the movies HD

Requirements
Good Mother Board but not to expensive and what would you use Amd or Intel, there seems to be cheap Celeron processors are they good enough t play full hd rips without any probs!!

Regards


Paul

Mail Streacom and ask - they used to have a compatibility page, can't see it now.

A lot of the issues are overstated - you can buy pipe bending tools that make the minor shaping required pretty easy - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Q-E-Tube-Bend...3a7c379ffd
