Hi there,
I want to build an htpc for my parents. It's only for movies (most of them not 1080p, but some might be). Nothing fancy like 3D or gaming hardware is needed. It should be quiet, current-saving and have remote support (almost) out of the box. I have some linux experience, but I would rather have a device where I don't have to read gazillion manuals on how to wreck my kernel :p
The setups in the sticky topic looked quite good, but they seem somewhat out of date and almost none of the mentioned casings can be purchased in germany.
That's why I'm only looking for a mainboard and CPU (and a GPU if needed) that meet the given requirements.
Any ideas?
