I'm building a HTPC to put in my living room and would like some help. My first and major concern is being able to turn the system on and off using my Logitech Harmony 700. Is this possible at all? I guess worst come to worst I would have to leave my computer on sleep.
My build is based around being quiet and energy efficient as possible. Any criticism is welcomed.
Specs:
[Case] Silverstone Milo ML03B
[CPU] Intel i3-2120T
[Mobo] ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT Z68 mITX
[Ram] G.SKILL Eco 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1333 7-7-7-21 1.35V
[PSU] Corsair Builder Series CX430
[CPU Cooler] Scythe Shuriken REV.B 3
[Case Fans] Fractal Design Silent Series 80MM Ultra Quiet 11Dba
[Network Adapter] ASUS PCE-N15
[IR Receiver] HP MCE Receiver
[Remote] Logitech Harmony 700 (already own)
[Boot Drive] OCZ Vertex 2 240GB (already own)
[Storage Drive] Seagate Barracuda 2TB (already own)
Total with shipping and taxes: $551.52
The reason I chose this motherboard is because it comes with a CIR header on the motherboard since the Harmony uses IR. Also does anybody know if this motherboard can handle both video and audio through it's HDMI port?
