why the thermaltake case? unless he specifically like it,
the APEC MI-008 is the same thing, and costs $50 on amazon.com...
eskro Wrote:as for the CPU, go for the INTEL G530,if you preferred g530, go for it but i suggested g620 instead.
cpubenchmarks.com reveals they are almost identical in CPU Power...
PASSMARK G620: 2487
PASSMARK G530: 2371
save more money, get the G530....
eskro Wrote:the motherboard looks good,i have to admit it, and i did linked to the wrong mobo, but it still can turn on/off with this asrock option- ASRock Smart Remote Controller. I meant to link to this mobo- AsRock H67M-ITX/HT LGA 1155, which included remote controller and receiver.
but the PowerON/OFF feature, altho working, and wrong mobo link bluray,
CIR Rceiver seems to not have a good range when using it with an Harmony remote,,,
voip-ninja tested it, and thats what he concluded and i trust him,,
however, how's the range doing with the Asrock Smart Remote, i dunno,,,
might not be better either,,,
get this mobo here --> http://goo.gl/u7ts0
eskro Wrote:and if u want to powerON/OFF from a total shutdown state,i'm not sure what it is in the link, but please give it a try and let us know how it turn out. if it can turn on/off htpc, it'll be another cheap solution.
smiply buy this --> http://goo.gl/nIDX6 but throw the little remote in the garbage...

i suggest avoiding it,,,
ask user Beer40onze if he likes GSKILL
i'd get some Kingstong HyperX or Corsair XMS3
