My HTPC-Build need help
#1
Hi all,

after reading all the sticky-threads here and tons of user builds I am a bit confused and don't really know what I want or need :o
I am looking for a custom build HTPC to playback my HD movies, mostly 1080p mkv's. All my media is located on a NAS so I am streaming through my gigabit network. Furthermore I want to install some other software like a SVN- and Maven-Server, Sickbeard and co. So the pc has to be very quiet and efficient e.g. low in power consumption.
The HTPC has to run smooth the heaviest XBMC skins etc.

According Eskros most helpful sticky thread I am planning on something like this:

MOBO: ASRock-A75M-ITX-Mainboard-ITX 70€
CPU+iGPU: AMD A6-3600 4x2.1Ghz/2.4Ghz HD6530D FM1 65W 106€
CPU-Cooler: Scythe-Shuriken 30€
RAM: 4GB Corsair PC1600 23€
HDD: Patriot Torqx2 32GB SSD 58€
OS: win7 home 64 bit 70€
RemoteControl: Smart Remote Asrock 23€ Do i need this when I want to buy a Harmony? Or can I get this USB-Dongle elsewhere? It seems that the HP USB Receiver is hard to get in Europe, specially in Germany?


I am a bit lost with the cases. Here are some options I like:

Lian Li PC-Q06B USB 3.0 50€ + PSU Does the CPU-Cooler fit in here?

Lian Li PC-Q08B PC (To big I think I won't need the space?) 90€

In case of the Lian Li this PSU:
Seasonic SS 350ET Bronze 43€


Array R2 Mini ITX 150€ (incl. 300W silent PSU)

Silverstone SG05B (incl. PSU) Switch PSU or is it silent? 86€

Thx in advance for any help!
Chris

Thx!
So for now I will have to check the PSU and then I am done Big Grin
Wah, i posted the wrong case. Sry it should have been this:

Lian LI PC-Q07

The Q-06 is a benchtable, don't know how I could get that wrong... So I guess the Q07 is fine with the Shuriken?
