So I finally got tired with my Zotac ZBOX HD-ID41 and I am just in the process of acquiring the components for my new htpc.
This is my current list:
1 x AMD A-Series A6-3500, 3x 2.10GHz, boxed (AD3500OJGXBOX)
1 x Kingston HyperX DIMM Kit 8GB PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-27 (DDR3-1600) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8G)
1 x ASRock Smart Remote
1 x ASRock A75M-ITX, A75 (Sockel-FM1, PC3-14900U DDR3)
1 x Gelid Solutions Slim Silence AM2 (Sockel AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1)
1 x Scythe Kozuti (Sockel 775/1155/1156/1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1) (SCKZT-1000)
PSU and case are already ordered and I've got a spare crucial m4 ssd lying around
As you can see, it is still missing an optical drive. I do not care whether it be a DVD writer or just a ROM drive, may it even be a BD - I do not care as long as the slot in the case is filled
I also wonder which of the 2 CPU coolers is the best option. I am not going to add a drive to the 3,5" bay.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
