Will this psu fit in the case?

I wasn't able to find the one you posted in your first post in stock.

I will duplicate your build.

Yup, and that one will give you a little more room in the case as compared to the one I used.
Good luck and would like to know how your build comes out.

Sweet, Thanks for the reply. I ordered all the parts last night. It will be fairly similar to another build I did, except for the case. This will be a replacement build to my atv2. After this build, I hope to cut the cord.

I got all the parts together last night, I put everything together. When I connected the htpc to the monitor, I get no video output. I now see the cpu fan going, just no video output.

I was going to re-seat the RAM ( It's going to be a huge pain, I have to take everything out of the case to take the ram out). I am going to also connect the peripherals directly rather than though the "kvm". I am pretty sure I didn't fry the CPU.

Any other suggestions?

I had to RMA the motherboard, A75M-HVS. I wasn't able to get any output, plus, I wanted the A75M that has the optical SPDIF port. I saw they had the A75M today on amazon, so I went ahead and ordered another motherboard. I was so anxious to get everything setup!

Sorry for not responding sooner,....had the flu,....or still have remnants.
I know it stinks that you "lucked out" and got what appears to be a bad motherboard,...but at least it sounds like you've made lemonade from the lemon.

I finally was able to complete my build. After getting the correct motherboard, everything is working perfectly.

Here is list of the parts I used as well as some photos. I took a lot of inspiration from this thread.

I am ready to cut the cord with this build.

Very Nice! I have the same problem with dust that you describe,....but it's more of a housekeeping thing than anything else.
Too bad I can't afford a maid.
