Help choose between these 2..... - dtviewer - 2011-12-06

So I have procrastinated enough and am about to order my HTPC parts.
Looking at these 2 builds:

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22334447

Price is close enough between the 2 to be a non-factor, and either case will fit in my stand. I have a 80gb Sata drive I will be using and Windows 7.
That said, which do YOU like....(Im leaning toward #1)

Looks like #1 it is.............

I concur

Personally I'd always go for the biggest board I can fit in my case and choose my own PSU if I can. I've not had the option this time as I couldn't find a Micro-ATX case without a PSU that was small enough to fit my shelf - but I will probably replace the PSU eventually.

Option 1 is ordered and on the way!

According to UPS tracking delivery is today.
Hopefully will be at the house when I get home from work...if so I have a project for tonight.

And just in time....for some reason my Revo has started acting up. In the middle of a movie the screen will go black but the sound will still be playing. When this happens the remote will no longer work to control the movie/revo.
Only way to get out is physically power down the Revo and re-start it.

Not sure why since I havent changed anything or done any updates to my xbmc...except for add-on updates of course.
