Fast & Quiet, the Perfect HTPC

So I needed a better home theater PC to run My Movies, and this video shows the components, as well as the build itself in high speed. No I cant really build a PC in 2 minutes, its a camera trick.

I use Crestron, but any HTPC remote will work.

Thats the same motherboard that I have in my gaming rig lol. Why a 1090T? what program is going to use 6 threads in an HTPC?. Also an SSD? this whole rig is so over kill for HTPC use. You will probably have this thing for 10 years and it still won't get slowed down. It didn't look like that 120mm fan was hooked up because on my rig all the fans that are hooked up to the motherboard start up as soon as I turn the system on.

@workensmart It also has other duties, but the primary is HTPC.

Using a 6-Core CPU in a HTPC is just overdosed and not very economic.

That CPU doesn't compare at all wtf are you talking about. Its not even as good as a 2600k and thats using the best cpu AMD has a FX8150.

@HighTechCEO still overkill buddy

[jag9998]

Mind if I ask what you are using the SSD for, and what software you're using?

[raydowe]

i have to agree with most people here, this is insane overkill for a htpc. 6 cores and water cooling? i built my htpc around an atom motherboard. now that is quiet, effecient, and still has the power to playback hd video and run a linux server vme same time. not to mention the whole build came in under $450

@IamRickyMartian oh yeah, an HTPC must me smaller than a lunchbox and barely able to play blueray video....

go home kid.

First thing I notice is, a lack of Video capture card. So I have a Media server that won't stream or record live content. Fail!

[fmmjqtft1]

For that price, why not just get a Sony BDP-S5000ES?

That way you can have unmatched sound, picture quality, and reliability without having to use a piece of shit, aka Windows 7, with other pieces of shit, aka shitty proprietary drivers that need reinstalling every few days.
