Antec ISK 300-65 - Intel i3 build

bluray - Yup, the only real reason i didn't go with the HT at first, was that i read that some had problems with the IR-dongle, from 2.5+ meters away.
But i think and hope, that it will go great with my old Asrock ION, which i plan on moving to the bedroom

Great, that calms me down "Cool 'n quiet", that sounds excactly like the setup i'm going for, so I'll set it up that way Thanks, really appreciate the tips!

Forgot to ask...the 2 USB ports on the front of the Antec ISK 300-65 case. Are theese cable included with the case og the motherboard? I'm a bit unsure about that.

those things are case stuff,,,

Super, then all is ready...thursday i guess. Did i mention that I'm excited?! Heh
Gonna be a long week...

I installed 5 PC's in the last several months (mostly big ATX with Intel i5) and many PC's (again, all ATX with Intel other than one Mini-ITX AMD) throughout the years, and I'm exciting everytime I build a new one......it's in our DNA..!

bluray, you're spot on _that_ feeling, building yourself, collecting the part/specs, and then...you almost fart or share a tear, of pure joy
It's been five years since i last build. Always build myself. Only pre-build was my Asrock ION. Was happy with it. Til now (heat and noise issue). 98 c GPU today.
i5 builds, uhh sweet, but don't wan't to pay the electric bill (not for a 24/7 build )

Not really, most Intel I installed (including i3&i5) are 65w.......

But I'm going for the, maybe girly model T. 35 w.
Don't know where you live? I have an electric bill that's about 2300 US dollars pr year, here in DK.
I've got at "kill-a-watt"-like-thing, I'm searching for the "sinner" at the moment
Just replaced my Plasma 1 month ago, with a LED, I can allready see it online on my bill, that it made a significant difference
So in my "power search", I'm a bit affriad of adding more watt's

Put it to sleep or turn it off when not in use....PC doesn't consume much energy at all. The A/C, washer/dryer, oven, ref, etc consume the most.....

Oh, I paid about same amount here in the U.S last year.....

Agree, but it's kind of tricky, when it's a 24/7 machine...running mail and webserver also

Dang, thought it was much more expensive here in DK...taxes on electricity is like 70-80%.
My next build...a windmill
