Background & Introduction:
Hello everybody! This is my little project thread for my bedroom HTPC that i thought i could share with the world
I tested a HTPC for a company and in reward I got to keep the computer, it was then running a special version of GBPVR, but offcourse I wanted MediaPortal. And personaly I don't like the chassi so that will be replaced too. I have been looking very much on the Omaura TF8 with OLED to replace the current Antec chassi. But I still want to build the HTPC around the components that I already got. The total cost so far has been: 39sek, about 8$ (if you don't count the external hdd).
I have also tried the Silverstone LC02 Chassi, but due to bad cooling, and expensive PCI-Risers i decieded to go back to the not so pretty Antec chassi. Anyway, here is my current setup:
