So I have been thinking about what to use for awhile.
Been reading here, and other places.
Thanks to all who helped, esp Eskro and Bluray (you guys are legends)
So this is the list of current parts setup:
Motherboard
Asus ROG Maximus V GENE
Ram
Kingston LoVo HyperX 1.35v KHX1600C9D3LK2/4GX
Blu-Ray
LG CH10LS28
CPU
Intel 2.6GHz 35w i3-2120T
SSD
OCZ Nocti mSATA NOC-MSATA-30G
GPU
Asus GT520 SL/DI/2GD3LP
CPU Cooler
Scythe Kozuti
Case
Moneual 312
PSU
Be Quiet! 400w Gold
All I have left to get is my actual HTPC case.
The Moneual 312 (Its not available until July due to a case refresh)
And the PSU for that case.
CoolerMaster Silent Pro M2 420W
Then I will be sorted.
I chose this CPU as its low heat and power.
I dont need much if im using a dedicated GPU.
I had the box on for over 3 hours yesterday, and CPU never went over 45c, and thats with the fan spinning only at 800rpm.
I will post more pics when I get the actual case (July) and finish the build properly.
Right now I stuck it in the SFF HP case that I had lying around the office.
Enjoy:
mSATA in the holder, its TINY!
Together in the HP case, its temporary home
As you may have noticed, I didnt fit the Blu-Ray drive, as it was pushing too hard against the Ram, and Power cables.
So left it out for now, until I get my new case.
See post #26 for more pics!
