I recently built a haswell box with 4gb corsair vengeance and dual core pentium all sitting on a ocz vertex 2 ssd.
Also asus motherboard. B85 chipset
I run xbmclive perfectly.

Do you mean XBMCbuntu?

I love that mobo!! Is booting of eSata possible?

[deksawyer]

No eSata I'm afraid, although I've no need for it. There's a PCIe slot if you need to install a card for it......

mkay , but as a mitx board with 6 sata ports it would be the dream for SFF servers

[-DDD-]

Maybe you can use one SATA Header and make it to eSATA

I've been eying this exact build. Could you do me a solid and give me the exact measurement in mm from the motherboard to the very top of the cooler and fan? I don't believe I'll be able to squeeze it into my tiny case.

I missed your post - sorry!!

From top of motherboard to top of cooler (with fan) it measures 65mm.

What case are you planning to fit it into....?

cheers

Hi

I bought the same board and the same CPU.

Unfortunately, I'm having lots of problems for the bios to recognize my ssd hdds.

I have 3 Sata 3,5 hdd and 1 ssd

Did you encountered some kind of problems?

Thanks for your time.
