OCFreak Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 So I have decided since there have been some decent boards coming out on the MiniITX format I would do one up for my HTPC. I am starting the build this morning and should have it down by this afternoon. Here are the specifications so far, and a sneak pic as well: Specs: CPU: Intel i3 530 Motherboard: ECS H55H-I Memory : 4GB A-DATA DDR3 1600G Gaming Series HD: Western Digital 64GB SSD for Boot / 1TB Western Digital Green for Storage Case: Lian Li Mini-Q Black (PC-Q07) PSU: Antec 380W Green (80+ Bronze) Video: Sappire 5570 Screen: 42" Toshiba LCD Sneak Pic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel.monteiro Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 should have gone for the gigabyte H55 mobo they have better overclocking potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that they made a miniITX motherboard with the H55 chipset? I am not concerned with OCing this that much, maybe a mild OC to 3.5GHz.

OCFreak Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 nice choice on the case, that was my original choice for an HTPC case until i saw it was miniITX and not mATX I am about half way through the build, and yes this is likely the nicest, lightest and well put together case I have ever owned. Especially for $70. I am very pleased thus far. More pics coming soon! EDIT: I juts reread your post and realized why you said what you did haha ... smartass!

When i first started looking for cases for MY htpc, i spotted ur case right away, but then after I actually read about it and didn't just look @ pictures, I realized it was mITX and my build was mATX, so i was actually being serious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
