SNES HTPC help needed - widardd - 2012-05-07

Hi,

thrilled by this GUIDE, i am going to try this idea using a PAL SNES and a tiny A4-3300 "Llano".

so far, this is what i am going to get:

- AMD A-Series A4-3300, 2x 2.50GHz 65 TDP
- Titan TTC-NC25
- takeMS DIMM 4GB PC3-12800U CL9 (DDR3-1600)
- ASRock A75M-ITX, A75 (Sockel-FM1, PC3-14900U DDR3)
- 32GB SD Card (small linux will be used)

inside that snes case i am almost sure i won't get anything more than 4cm in height.
even that flat titan cooler already does need 31mm, which leaves 9mm for board+socket+cpu, and i have no idea if this could do.
another problem is, that i don't know whether the opening for the cartridge will be enough to get rid of the hot air generated by this passive system. this is going to be a 24/7 system being 95% idle, the remaining 5% on lets say 20% load handling xbmc or some emulation action.

a friend of mine already stated that i might think about inserting an empty cartridge with a somehow integrated small fan.
what do you think about my idea, could this work?

thanks in advance for any help, guys. Smile
