I wanted to try something new After years with my Intel Atom based HTPC and some fans in the case I wanted a complete silent but powerful enough HTPC. So right now this is what I assembled:
Besides that I already had a Hama remote and I also use the Pulse Eight CEC USB adapter. The system is capable to play everything I want (1080p, 3D, ... ) and I can use heavy skins like Aeon or Arctic. I know that it still has the 24p bug but lucky me I don't see it
The case gets warm but the CPU stays between 60 and 80 degrees so I guess I don't need a case fan (but I will monitor it the next days).
Right now I'm quite happy with it because it is powerful enough but I don't hear it
