I love the case..... get the BIG shuriken 2100 120MM ..... it just works!

You may just need one exhaust fan and that's it!

Lian LI makes very nice products....

infact I want to change my unraid server case to a lian li...

I was a bit worried if it was too wide, and too low for the RAM, and saw that this Samurai was pretty silent.

EDIT: Case has 130mm CPU cooler height, so its not such a tight fit

Since you have a bigger case and PSU, why not go for a more powerful APU- AMD A8-3850.....it'll get the job done quicker.....

Looks nice, but also if you are going to spend that much why not 400 sek more and get the A8-3870? Not that the A6 will do the job just fine.
And 10744sek? if you are use prisjakt.se it adds op to about 8000 without Win7 from one internet shop (migh be cheeper if you go hunting) Wink
I have made a list for you, give it a look before you make up your minde Smile One sweden/danish to another

Edit: Just saw the "OBS: Not too concerned about saving money."... but still if you can save 1000++ on the same thing isn't that worth looking into?

Agreed, the A6-3500 is likely all you need, but if you don't care about an extra $50 or whatever, get a better CPU. "Just in case" .. Wink

E.g., if you want to start editing movies, or doing more CPU intensive tasks 3/6 months down the line that you weren't thinking of now that is. Though I guess you could always just remove the 3500 and replace it at that time.

Wow, i didn't know prisjakt.nu could do that ^^ cool

I can see how I could save a 1000 kr there, but since its my dad who buys, and im only there to be able to build it 12-13 th may, it has to be pretty simple to order and eventually RMA, would be really sad if everything except one thing came, So by keeping it to only Webhallen and Inet, (didn't specify that in the OP) it becomes simple, and i've bought there before so i know that they are reliable.

I might consider the Dustin, MISCO, Proshop combo though.

Ye, the A8-38xx is almost twice the price of a A6-3500, so I think by the time it could be relevant, some new thing would've come out anyway

I wouldn't say $20 more twice the price.....yes, AMD is coming out with a new Trinity but it'll be completely new socket (FM2) though....

You'll have a powerful HTPC and you'll enjoy it...! Can you correct your title and first post? It should be A8-3850......
