hi!
after using an RPi and Pivox Xios DS and some time ago using a shuttle XS35GTV2 with openelec it's time to build a
new HTPC. my budget: 350 EUR
MY NEEDS:
+ it should run openelec nearly out of the box
+++ it MUST be able to turn on and off remotely and be operable with my remote (harmony ultimate)
+ i use the system 90 % for streaming from my NAS (qnap) and most files are 720/1080p MKV and 3D MKV betwenn 6 and 20GB.
+ the system should be as silent as possible
so reading through the forums this could be my configuration:
CASE:
Streacom ST-F1CB (70 EUR) http://www.streacom.com/products/f1c-chassis/
PSU:
picoPSU-150-XT (70 EUR) http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-150-XT
REmote Hardware:
Inteset IR Receiver for Asus mainboards (24$) http://shop.inteset.com/inteset-cir-rece...therboards
mainboard:
B75M-ITX with CIR header (65 EUR) http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75M-ITX/...ifications
Processor:
Intel Celeron Dual-Core G1610 (36EUR)
OR
Intel Pentium G2010 (55EUR)
Cooler for processor:
SilenX iXtrema PRO IXP-34-08 (15 EUR)
RAM:
CORSAIR 2GB CL9 TWIN3X2048-1333C9 (25 EUR)
SSD:
SanDisk ReadyCache SSD 32GB, 2.5", SATA 6Gb/s (35 EUR)
total cost: ~350 EUR
what do you think, will this work??
thanks for your help and suggestions...
regards,
heli
