LOOKS LIKE PIECE OF SHHHHHerious good pc :D

[Mamod334]

Wouldn't the AMD Fusion be a better choice for a HTPC. Because you will be using the GPU half more than the CPU half.

I really like that acrylic style case you got from Danger Den but I would really hate trying to keep the finger prints off of it though.

Very cool build, I like that its ITX. The acrylic looks fantastic!

[SylentCommando]

nice case, its going to light up nice with those red led fans. So small compared to the 800d. Cant wait to see it all finished its going to look great.

[SinisterPain]

Keep up the vids man, i find your videos very entertaining =)

[SinisterPain]

Had alot of problems with Compro tuners =( in the past

[SingularityComputers]

@SinisterPain I actually ended up using them after having a lot of problems with other tuners. What kind of problems have you had?

[SinisterPain]

@SingularityComputers Really bad single pickups, mainly because WMC has a few problems with compro cards that have dual tuners onboard, it doesnt play nicely with splitting signals. Had to buy an addition signal booster which only improved performance slightly. In the end I replaced it with a Hauppauge HVR-2210 which is amazing. Hopefully you have better luck mate =)

Looks good mate. Should be a great little pc. Pitty you have to use the PCI-e for a tv tuner, Would be great if there was also room for a graphics card - for some light gaming.

I suppose that's what mATX is for.

@3th4n69 Ive got enough gaming machines though. Just wanted this one for a HTPC. But I know what you mean, its always nice to see a graphics card in a system. I might use an external HDTV Tuner at some stage and install a graphics card.
