Also confirms that I would have to stick with the expensive MB. Hmmm, maybe an A6-Pack clone it will be. Maybe the name should be "Nevermind" |

Yup I know the temps are high.... one day there will be technology that won't need any fans and temps will be low..... that is one day! You can find the 300-65 on Ebay for $99 free ship.... crazy how much other retailers are charging... this was after my build. Right now im in the process of getting a 300-150..... with an A8 for a desktop.....

Beer, do you think there is any way to squeeze a 3.5" drive in you build? I'm not afraid of a case mod/Dremel surgery. I'm studying your thread as we speak.

I'm not sure.... if you can then you have to take the bracket off like I did and install the 3.5 on the bottom and the 2.5 on the top....
Why not use an external 3.5? they make the cases for them too.... "A6-PACK" The Original ☆ unRAID Server ☆ MCE Remote Turn ON HTPC FOUND! w/DONGLE Time to sit back, relax and enjoy XBMC.... CHEERS!!! |

I'll let you know on the IR receiver - I should get my new one tomorrow. I believe they've been re-programmed actually:
http://perfecthometheater.com/techsuppor...20info.htm Re: the temps - it's honestly not that bad in use, OE is reporting about 45 typically. Windows reports 50 to 60 during xbmc. I only got it higher by really pushing it. And who cares, as long as it remains stable? Why not just record your live TV back to your server/NAS - works perfectly for me. Putting a 3.5HD in it will stop it being silent, too... My XBMC stuff: ...inc: |

I believe they've been re-programmed actually: Thanks for the information about the temps and congratulations on a great build. Those temps don't make me that nervous. I would love to record TV directly to my server but my OS of choice is Windows 7 and I use WMC for recording which doesn't allow recording to a network location (at least any way that I know of). |
