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.Wink

Mine is silent.... FYI!!!

Can't hear it..... Smile

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 Smile

I "Hear" ya.Big Grin

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-PackSmile

I don't think they know what hit them.
