Hi all!
The urge for a bedroom htpc is growing faster and faster so I need to buy new parts to the livingroom.
The plan is to take current hardware and put it in an m-itx case plus a ssd and enjoy my movies in the bedroom.
My orderlist is as follows:
Mobo
CPU
RAM
PSU
I will use my current case , Fractal Design Define Mini and my hdd.s, a couple of mixed WD Greens and Black (total of 7 Gb)
Coolerwise I initially thought about a Big Shuriken, hence the lowprofile ram, but I think I will go for a Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212 (very nice cooler and it´s cheap too!)
My only concern is the memory so far. I know it´s overkill with an I7 but Handbrake loves CPU, so does Photoshop =)
OS will be either Win7 or Server 2008 plus FlexRaid
Thoughts about the build?
