[QUOTE="ryan20021982, post: 533025, member: 78143"] Building another htpc to add to the collection and decided to go mini-itx. I was first thinking about using the atom/ion mobos but I read alot of reviews and decided its not really enuf for me so this is what I have so far. Case: Winsis Wi-02 w/200W Power Supply [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811234021]Newegg.com - Winsis Wi-02 Black SGCC / ABS Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 200W Power Supply - Computer Cases[/url] Motherboard: MINIX™ 780G-SP128MB [url=http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?419#_acc]J&W Technology Limited[/url] HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint M Series HM160HI 160GB 5400 RPM [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152093]Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint M Series HM160HI 160GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive[/url] DVD Drive: Sony Optiarc Black 8X DVD-ROM SATA Slim Combo [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118018]Newegg.com - Sony Optiarc Black 8X DVD-ROM 24X CD-R 24X CD-RW 24X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA Slim Combo - CD / DVD Burners[/url] Then I am ordering this stuff now CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103687]Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops[/url] Ram: AllComponents 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820159024]Newegg.com - AllComponents 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model AC2/SO800X64/4096-KIT - Laptop Memory[/url] I am also wanting to change the cpu cooler to something that I can have a slower/quieter fan on. Right now all I will have in the case for fans is a 60mm Silenx intake fan and the psu fan which is very quiet. So for the cpu cooler I was thinking about something like this. [url=http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/product_detail_1.aspx?cv=1-3-140&id=77&in=0]Dynatron Corporation - the leading manufacturer of CPU cooling products.[/url] ^^ That with a 120mm Silenx fan mounted to the top of the case will blow air on the entire motherboard and the 60mm fan blowing in from the side with the psu fan directly accross from the 60mm fan pulling the hot air out and exhausting it out the back. As you can see using another 120mm fan I had laying around the vent in the top of the case is the perfect size for a 120mm fan but the holes dont line up but I am using some rubber fan mounts so it dont really need to line up perfect. [URL=http://www.imagebam.com/image/6cd97a55588238][IMG]http://thumbnails20.imagebam.com/5559/6cd97a55588238.gif[/IMG][/URL] I am also going to try to remove the front audio ports and put the IR eye in one of the holes from them so I dont have the ir receiver outside the case. Everything will be a tight fit but I think it will work out perfect in the end. [/QUOTE]
