My proposed htpc build - rtate - 2012-08-08 Ok after many hours of reading and going in circles here is my potential build CPU---------------AMD A8-3870 CPU------------- Cooler Big Shuriken 2 MOBO ----------Asus F1A75 M-Pro-CSM Ram------------- Kingston hyper-X DDR3 1600(4 or possibly 8Gig) SSD-------------Crucial M4 64G HD---------------WD Green 2TB sata3 B/R Drive------- L/G BH12LS38 Case------------- Silverstone ML03B P/S -------------- Seasonic SS-400 ET Keypad----------Iogear GKM571R O/S ---------------Windows 7/64 So with a set up like this I thinks I will have all my bases covered for group #7. Does anyone see any potential problems with this system?? I would like to use a remote but it's not a deal breaker and I'm not sure if the mobo has a CIR header... Will I need case fans ? and if so how many?? Will everything fit in the case ok?I was a little concerned about the Big Shuriken... Any opinions or recommendations would be great !! RE: My proposed htpc build - ArieS - 2012-08-08 Hey buddy, I just ordered the same CPU, CPU cooler and almost the same mobo (mine is the reg F1A75 M). For the case I went with the G05B. For the SSD I was gonna get the Crucial but after reading many reviews I opted for the OCZ Vertex 4 128gb for 100 bucks. A few people in here are using your case with the Big Shuriken so you should be ok... Can't wait to get mine started! RE: My proposed htpc build - rtate - 2012-08-08 Sounds awsome ArieS ,please start a "build thread" so we can follow each other on our builds... RE: My proposed htpc build - ArieS - 2012-08-08 I do have one called Yet another HTPC thread... I'll start a new one when I start building it and I'll add pictures. |
