Since he repeated the same word 3 times, I want to make sure that it is not some kind of new electronics word.......

Bought the Asrock a75m-itx and the MI008 , am trying to decide on the processor,
AMD A6-3500 or
AMD AD3670WNGXBOX , is this an A6 processor (seems to be) and will it fit under the psu?? is the stock fan and heatsink same height as A6-3500 ?
thanks

A6-3500 will run much cooler in that case than the A6-3670K and for HTPC there's no difference between the two in perceived performance.

great, thanks
Any idea where I can get a Kozuti Scythe SCKZT-1000 in Canada? this item seems to be unavailable anywhere, is there a newer or equally as good item?

Apparently the Noctua NH-L9a is 38mm height, anybody try this in the MI-008 case?

Hi all,

First time poster here. Been stalking for the last few months, and during that time I have been beta testing XBMC by having it run on my main gaming rig via a 25 foot HDMI cable to the big screen.

I have been given a budget of around $450 to spend by the boss as she prefers the control and visuals of XBMC over our AppleTV 3.

I have strayed a bit from the reference setup, as I want the ability to use the PC for light gaming on the 70 inch LCD from time to time.

As this will be by first ground up build HTCP or otherwise I was hoping someone could take a look, as clue me into what if anything I may be missing ( cables ) ect.

Windows 8 is on hand as well as a SATA cable. Any materials past that to complete the build would have to be added. Right now my cart is at $410.

Thanks
