very cool

im still very indecisive about my upcoming build. after reading your first thoughts about your new system, and the fact that ive got some more spare money, im very much thinking about going in a very similar direction (e.g. FC10, the asus mobo etc. was thinking about fc8 for a moment but apparently it only fits miniITX).

how difficult was the assembly with the case? also very eager to hear about how it will turn out with your VAAPI issue.

i like the numbers, too. nice one Smile

At this very moment, I'm typing the full review. With the pictures.
Wait till later (1-2hrs I guess), and you'll have a step-by-step with pictures :-)

The FC10 heatpipe thing is a bit tricky, but 20 minutes and you're good.

Did you want to put a board >mATX in the FC10/FC8? Streacom says they expect people to put mITX or mATX board in there. The FC10 has enough room for full ATX boards though -- at least I think that.

i got really fixated on the P8H77-M PRO, so the last task is finding a suitable case. i really like the fc8, too. however apparently it only fits miniITX. from your pictures i can get a feeling of how the fc10 looks like in terms of size. pretty huge, no doubt it can eat standard ATX boards Smile

of course huge is relative. i dont need & dont want the extra space for additional HDDs, im good with an SSD & BD drive. so i guess i should go the middle way and take the FC9.

P8H77-I is a very nice motherboard. I use it in all my Intel Ivy Bridge builds as long as it's available.
