Yes, another HTPC build - cjaime - 2009-10-07
This is a great site and it inspired me to build my own HTPC build.
Specs:
Case: A-Tech HeatSync 2500 Mini-Client
Cooling: A-Tech HeatSync Cooling System for ION
Motherboard: Zotac IONITX-A-U Atom N330
Hard drive: Corsair Extreme Series CMFSSD-64D1 (64 GB)
Ram: Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) TWIN2X4096-6400C5C
DVD Drive: Pioneer Slim Slot Loading CD/DVD DVR-TS08
Keyboard: IOGEAR GKM561R USB 2.4 GHz Multimedia Keyboard
I just finished with the hardware last night and next step is to install Ubuntu and XBMC.

How much to build ?
- sircube - 2009-10-07
I've calculated something around 1000-1200 USD. ..

That's pretty close:
Case: 610
ION cooling system: 100
Motherboard: 190
SSD drive: 175 (after 30 MIR)
DVD drive: 57
RAM: 42 (after 20 MIR)
Keyboard: 50
Total: 1224
I didn't include taxes and most items were free shipping. It's more than what I was expecting to spend but my goal was for a silent, lower power solution that looked good. By the way, the pictures don't do the case justice. It's all aluminum and so far I've been happy I went with this case.
