New build - patseguin - 2012-03-15
Here are a couple pics of my new mini build I just completed. While nowhere near the size of a Zotac, I do have a front Bluray disk on this and an nVidia 430GTX capabale of HD audio. CPU is core i3 and motherboard is Intel. Ignore the G.Skill logo since I replaced the RAM. :-)

GT430+i3 is a powerful HTPC...you might want to keep it off the carpet though!

You might want to tuck that usb drive inside the case if you can

Why? I don't think it would run that hot would it? It has 3 case fans and I thought the i3 was pretty low power/heat. I have a small table I could put it on but I thought it would be better on the floor.
As for the dongle, that's for my diNovo mini. I don't know how I'd put it inside the case but wouldn't that cut down on reception?
