So about 2 weeks ago I finally build my first HTPC!
So here is the Hardware I used:
Case: Silverstone ML03B (Changed this from a Silverstone LC20B La Scala because my wife wanted a smaller one)
PSU: Silverstone ST40NF
CPU: AMD A8 3870
FAN: Scythe Shuriken Rev.2
MB+GPU: Asus F1A75-M Pro
RAM:Corsair Vengeance PC1600, 8GB, CL9
SSD: Samsung MZ-7PC064D 64GB
BD: LG BH10LS38
Keyboard: Logitech K400
OS: WIN 7
I was so happy when all the parts where the delivered, but than I got a shock. The PSU and the BD-Drive did not fit together in the case. I was so frustredted that I forgot to took pictures after that. My solution is not the best but it works for me. I placed the psu behind the HTPC. Since my HTPC sits inside of a shelf nobody sees it.
Boot-up time into XBMC 25 sec.
I can't here any noise form it, CPU-Fan runs with 1000 RPM, total silence! I love it!
Also I build my first NAS:
Case: Eolize SVD-NC11-4
MB+CPU:Asus E35M1-I
RAM:: Corsair XMS3 PC-1333 8GB
HDD: 3* Western Digital WD20EARX 2TB
System Storage: Transcend JetFlash 700 16GB USB-Stick
