Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about building a passively cooled HTPC which i'll be using for running XBMC off Windows or Linux to watch HD content mostly 1080p and 720p via network.
After reading various topics i got even more confused on what hardware i should get so i'll leave my options below:
CPU + MB combo: Sapphire PURE White E350 or Gigabyte GA-C847N.
Case: Akasa Galileo or Akasa Euler both with 120W external adapter. I'm going for the Akasa Euler since the Galileo doesn't have a 2.5 HDD mount.
Memory: 2x Corsair Value Select 2 GB DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 CL7
Total: ~140€
I'm on a budget and for now i'm missing an SDD.
Please comment and leave your advices.
