Thanks for this upload it helped me a lot :) Im going to use this case for a home theatre build using the asus P8H61 mobo and a i3 2105 chip as it has HD3000 gfx, im not going to put a video card in it as i wont be gaming but im thinking i may put in a tv tuner, do you think the 150 watt PSU will handle it? If not ill stic to the i3 2100t. How have you found the PSU in general?
I have the same exact case/mobo/ and GPU. My GPU is only 1.0 GB, but that is quite enough. How much RAM did you use, and how is the performance overall? (Windows 7 HP)
@tenchidbz I put in 8 GB of RAM in the setup. I love the performance. It handles gaming pretty well. Of course the only things I've thrown at it is LoL, Heroes IV, and TF2. I'm very happy with the purchase. How's your's working?
@mad1336 In order to provide customers with a "safe" figure they say 400W. The graphics card itself only draws around 65W at peak so it should be fine, provided that you combine with a processor like the i3-2100T. On the other hand if you were to put it with a system with all kinds of things running like dual optical, a couple of HDDs, a high draw processor etc, then yes you might need a 400W PSU. It seems fine with this set up so far... fingers crossed ;)
What's your cpu and gpu temps while gaming?

Oh yeah and Skyrim runs pretty well on here.:)
This little box is my HTPC and its awesome to kick back in the recliner with the game controller and play some Skyrim.

Here's the card I slapped in there. "SAPPHIRE 100324L Radeon HD 6570 2GB"
Fits well but you have to remove the old style VGA connector.

ATI say that the HD6570 needs a 400W PSU does that low-profile version use less power?
Nice build, I'm thinking of something similar to install into my car.

@loudtrout It is up and running now and I'm loving it. This weekend I was gaming on the HD 6570. Runs games like a champ.
