    Re: HTPC Components

    Not quite sure why you would go Z68 in a HTPC build, let alone with a CPU that can't be overclocked?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    If you are going for m-atx, what m-itx m/b do you have and would it be for sale?

    Its the one in "Alistair's System" below my name

    However, I may just sell it as a complete system to a relative (minus the tv card)

    Re: HTPC Components

    nevermind, think i'm going to change my train of thought - ditch my tv card, buy a dedicated low profile gpu to put in its place. Please close thread
