Quiet HTPC/light gaming feedback
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 2:30 pm
I am putting together a new HTPC for my bedroom and wanted to get some feedback on the PSU/Case/CPU combination in particular. I am also trying to keep the cost less than $700 (I'll wait for sales on some of the components and will probably wait a bit on the discrete graphics card) This will go in a open media cabinet so I can't go a whole lot larger on the case but I can go a little larger and have airflow room. Also, I have heard that this case can be tricky to get PSU's to fit.
