Silent Bedroom HTPC
#1
Here's my new build based off this build . I'm looking for a quiet (silent) box for the bedroom. It needs to handle streaming MKVs from a UnRaid server, NetFlix and Amazon HD, and watching cable tv from a HDHomerun Prime (through MCE, not XBMC or can XBMC do this now?).

This box will join a living room HTPC, a media room HTPC and a part-time laptop that use a centralized XBMC database on the UnRaid server.

I changed the parts from the above build to lower the price about $200. Anyone have issues with any of these parts:

CPU: Intel Pentium G2020 IVB 2.9GHz
MoBo: ASRock H77M-ITX
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz - I already have this, is it too low?
Case: Hdplex H3.S + 80W PSU + Hdplex internal IR receiver - Same silent case
SSD: Samsung 840 120GB SSD

I have a keyboard similar to this iPazzPort that I like, but I need something with a backlight for the bedroom.

Any suggestions or warnings?

Thanks

For cheaper build you can use case Akasa Euler, but you must change also motherboard for this case.
