Hi there,
My first post here while lurking for a few years.
I just ordered my storage server (8 TB ), and now it's time to build my HTPC.
Purpose; Stream (via iSCSI) from my storage server + maybe little use of Dolpin emulator etc.
The hardware config I have so far;
Intel Core i3 3220 Boxed
ASRock B75 Pro3-M
Lite-On IHOS104 (4x, SATA-150, dual-layer, Zwart, OEM)[/td]
Samsung 840 series SSD 120GB
Power Supply; One of these;
be quiet! System Power 7 400W
Seasonic G-Serie 360Watt
Case of choice:
Epsilon EC-HTPC-1 microATX case
This is the config I was thinking of.
But I can't think of a good video card. With this case it has to be low profile, but maybe you guys know an other case which is better?
The video card HAS to be capable of decoding Full HD SBS 3D / 4K / DTS-HD / HD Audio, etc, and if it can run some emulated games with Dolpin that's nice.
Can someone recommend me a good videocard. I was thinking of a nVidia GT 640. My brand of choice is nVidia btw.
And the case has to be quiet btw hehe.
Thanks if someone has some advice for me.
