i did not run the iGPU becuase i read that all Intel iGPU could not handle 24p properly, because i had issue in the past with igpu 6310 i thought i'll just buy gpu. im not gamer but wanted to be future ready

With proper configurations, you should be able to playback blu-ray disc in full 1080P and bistreaming HD audio with your Intel HD2000. As for 24p, you need to check this out- Let's set this straight - No one can do 24p consistently well

I will be download the HD audio pack as im ready

Thanks

Since you already bought HD6670, you'll enjoy it....and it's a powerful GPU for HTPC....

The case looks great in that "stereo furniture" a5ian300zx. Happy with the setup? Can I ask you how much the total price was?

Hi Brannrev,

Thanks for the compliment, to tell you the truth i lost track with the cost a while a go as its been through so many changes initially I started with the first case and wanted a 12TB Nas and HTPC in one but changed my mind.

you can add it up with the spec listed in previous post.

if you want a passive cooled ATI with this case the best one i know of is the HIS 6670 but was not out at the time so i went for the 7750 because of the low TDP power, I have an aftermarket fan controller and some enzotech heatsinks low profile on the chips and was thinking of removing the fan and going passive, i might still do that and add another fan to the case connected to a fan controller to make it really quite
