Hello !
I would like to build a HTPC which can also be used as NAS or other server functions (but primary function would be XBMC).
A very good combo (performance/price) is currently ASRock H77M-ITX + i3-3225 (could be found last year at 170$ at Micro Center).
However I would very much like to have wifi somewhere in the future and was wondering if I could add a PCI-Express Wifi expansion card to the H77M-ITX ?
If yes, what would be the cheapest but still small case which would fit this H77M-ITX + PCI-E Wifi + 2.5" hard drive + DVD/BR player ?
Under 100€, the MC-80BL from MS-TECH looks affordable and still nice for instance but I am not sure if everything could fit inside.
Thanks !
