Good looking case....!
why not an A6-PACK like beer40's?

This one will be fanless, can use a 2.5"SSD + a regular 3.5" HD (I use it for Live TV recordings - hopefully heat won't be an issue), and has a built in IR receiver. It costs about $100 more as is but I think I can shave a little off the cost of the motherboard once I confirm compatibility with the case (The Asus F1A75-I is confirmed to work by Streacom). This should bring down the cost differential to about $50-$60. Oh yeah, did I say it will be completely fanless/silent.
Mine is silent.... FYI!!!
Can't hear it.....
But yes Streacom HTPC-FC8 go for it!!!! what makes you happy!
It's what matters...
I don't think the A6-PACK is to this build..... make your own name

I "Hear" ya.
Kidding aside, I need/want to be able to use a 2.5" + 3.5" drive. If not for that I would have a Beer A6-Pack clone!

I think there's more than one! You can claim responsibility for this on Newegg: ISK 300-65 - "Deactivated"

We'll probably see a new/replacement case called the A6-Pack
I don't think they know what hit them.

He made it first.... there is your name....
Thanks for the link. The temps he reports make me uncomfortable especially if I have a 3.5" HD in there. Also confirms that I would have to stick with the expensive MB. Hmmm, maybe an A6-Pack clone it will be.
Maybe the name should be "Nevermind"

Yup I know the temps are high.... one day there will be technology that won't need any fans and temps will be low..... that is one day!
You can find the 300-65 on Ebay for $99 free ship.... crazy how much other retailers are charging... this was after my build.
Right now im in the process of getting a 300-150..... with an A8 for a desktop.....
Beer, do you think there is any way to squeeze a 3.5" drive in you build? I'm not afraid of a case mod/Dremel surgery. I'm studying your thread as we speak.
I'm not sure.... if you can then you have to take the bracket off like I did and install the 3.5 on the bottom and the 2.5 on the top....
Why not use an external 3.5? they make the cases for them too....
hope u wont have problems with the built-in IR receiver.
im not sure it acts like a eHOME...
could be a pain to setup.
