Hello,
I just need a bit of advice. I have a Silverstone LC11s case at the moment, which runs my HTPC running Windows 7 media center, an OS drive and one hard drive with all my media on it. I built the system about 5 years ago and am looking to upgrade it to run XBMC as it now has more options for live tv with a freeview card. I want to keep the case as it looks nice in the lounge. I will be taking the drive with the media on out and putting that in a NAS, so the box will just run XBMC and stream movies/tv from the NAS.
I want to know if its possible to change the motherboard and processor and have it passively cooled? I've done a bit of research and think that I would need a new case to be able to do this? Any input would be great.
Thanks
