Very nice.

I am starting on a little project of my own. Will post soon.

Yeah this little guy packs a pretty decent punch.

Looking forward to seeing your new build as well.

That looks amazing! Are you running Linux or Windows?

I'm running Windows 7 for Netflix compatibility and such.

I really like your build. I'm considering quite the same one and was wondering if an i7 3770S would overheat in this setup or not. Anyone have an idea?

Hey, this is a really nice build, but don't u think it is an overkill for just watching movies and streaming netflix? I was wondering if you or anyone had an experience with i3 2120T? I loke it because it is just 35w and i really do not have much space in mu htpc case

i3-2120T is a really nice CPU. I've used a couple of them with the DH61AG motherboard. They stay nice and cool and with the Intel 2000 HD GPU they'll do HTPC duties just fine. They even work nicely for some light gaming when paired with a HD6670 card, another configuration I played with for a mini-ITX gaming HTPC.

SSDD great build... Smile thank you for sharing... enjoyed the pics.

Pretty cool you took off the 120mm fan off the cooler and used it as an exhaust on the case...

It is a solid build... case comes with a power supply... win win... Smile
