Hey Eskro,
What do you think of this build with a Ceton cablecard card in it?
. . . . Running ubuntu and xbmc?
Looks like a perfect system to do this.

Thanks to eskro for putting together these recommended builds. It seems like a great time-saver to have parts that are known to work together, however; I've bought the components for this one and am finding that the CPU fan does not physically clear the PSU when I try to install the motherboard into the case. I've confirmed that the part numbers for the case and for the CPU kit match those in the list. I haven't built a system from scratch in many years, so maybe I'm missing a common trick, but there seems to be no obvious way of making it work. Does everyone just expect to put in an aftermarket heatsink/CPU fan these days? Is there a low-profile (and hopefully low cost) unit you can recommend?
