Thanks again. RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - eskro - 2012-04-25 well yeah u can use them, just make sure you get the appropriate motherboard format (mini-ITX).. RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - dvined - 2012-04-25 Well, I have really tried to find a pretty one for the uatx, and they all seem very normal... If you have one you can recommend for looks, I'd be happy to look at it. I don't need a cd drive. And thank you for answering.

RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - scottyten - 2012-04-30 After a fair bit of research I am about to replace my trusty laptop temporary htpc with a permanent build. Will be going for the Bang of The Buck I found here (Australian localised prices/products etc) http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/rmp_sg_whirlpoolpcs_htpc which is very much the same as eskro's build http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114890 Just a couple of questions what cables (ie sata etc) would I need to buy, (I have never built a computer before) and how much of each? Antec NSK2480B with 380W PSU AMD A8 3870 Quad Core Fusion Black Edition ASRock A75 Pro4-M Motherboard G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ (2x2GB) DDR3 TWO – (2) – Western Digital Green 2TB WD20EARX – and probably a ssd for the operating system. What kind of cables and tools etc do I need in addition to these.

As for the cables, mobo/case should includes enough cables for everything.....if you want watch the step by step video on how to build a computer, you can simply type "Newegg TV" in Youtube search box. They have very nice videos on how to build computer..... RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - v8extra - 2012-05-03 First of all hello to all of you for the amazing thread! I have been looking for an HTPC since last year learking from a far distance only and yesterday I have read the whole 28 pages of it and my head is still spinning. Personnaly I have seen XBMC in action (under windows on a HTPC and WOW!) So here are my questions: 1- Eskro: I have looked at your private setup : http://ow.ly/1uizZd and I would like to know. If you have to build for yourself a new HTPC, what would you get 2- Based on my current setup what would I need to get everything working My setup is : NAS : QNAP TS-459 Pro II Console : PS3 3DTV: Sony 46hx800 Network : 1 Gigabit cable connection & Wireless TV signal : Antenna only Amp : OLD yamaha ca-410 Speaker : 2 HPM60 Pionner speaker Based on the information found in this thread, I beleive my situation is of a group 7. What do I want! I want my HTPC boxe to be DEAD SILENT! So based on the your thread I am leaning towards: Case: Lian Li PC-C37 or C39 or Antec Fusion V2 Silver or Antec – NSK2480B (I prefer slim case without too many light) MOBO: ASRock A75M FM1 CIR USB3.0 SATAIII UEFI μATX or ASRock A75 Pro4-M CPUGPU: AMD A8-3870 or AMD A8-3850 4x2.9GHz HD6550D FM1 100W SSD: CRUCIAL M4 64 GO SATA REVISION 3.0 Ram: Corsair Dominator GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (overkill) or KINGSTON HyperX Plug n Play OS : Windows 7 Home (since I heard Bluerays cant be read under Linux, I might be wrong here) Remote: Motorola NYXboard Hybrid BR/DVD: Pioneer BDR-206DBK Read:8X Write:12X Access Time:170ms Cache:4MB Fans : To be define PSU : To be define PicoPSU considered Tuner : Might add one at a later stage 2.1 - Will I be able to play games like Diablo 3 (It is not a necessity) 2.2 - Could you please tell me if this setup is ok and what Fans, Cooler, PSU or PicoPSU I should get 2.3 - I dont have spare cables or such to connect all the piece in the HTPC box, what else do I need to buy 3.0 - I guess I will need a new amp... (I am tempted to use optical cables mostly and HDMI, I don't know much about this either ) So thanks a lot for all your help, and please keep up the good work this thread is awesome Best regards to all! RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - eskro - 2012-05-03 hi v8extra, create a new thread please, all new builds like yours should have their very own thread. easier to follow/help. thx RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - v8extra - 2012-05-03 Ok here is the new thread : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130604 RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - scottyten - 2012-05-04 Mine finally arrived today, only problem was they ended up being out of stock of the ASRock A75 Pro4-M Motherboard, so I got to the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H Motherboard. Do you think this would be comparable/work. I really trust your judgement, so I thought I'd better doublecheck RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - eskro - 2012-05-04 well, i have a gigabyte motherboard and it works great. you should be fine... however, you may not have all the USB features asrock motherboards have.. same for CPU FAN speed controls.. RE: [Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D - scottyten - 2012-05-05 I was under the impression that the motherboard or the cpu, came with a cpu cooler? Do I need to buy one separately? Would you recommend a particular one? Edit: Disregard that it does :/ |
