Just about to build my first SFF HTPC
Im just about to build my first small form factor htpc and thought id share my experiences. Here's the kit list:
Case: Antec ISK310-150 £64.98 from ebuyer
MoBo Gigabyte GA-A75N-USB3 mini-ITX £75.46 from CCL
CPU/GPU APU: AMD A6-3500 £54.02 from CCL
Memory/RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9W £28 from Scan
SSD: Samsung 830 128GB SSD £79.99 from Dabs
Total £302.45
Ive only just ordered so will have to wait a week or so for all the bits to arrive. Im sure there were probably better alternatives i could have picked but after going round in circles on google shopping etc i had to make a final decision and this is it.
Feedback welcome.
EDIT: I had links for all the above but couldnt post them as i havent accrued enough posts here yet. Will update later once i have 5 posts cleared.

Will look forward to some shots of the build.

Got the bits yesterday and put it all together.Will need to tidy up the wiring. Also had to use some Patriot 4GB RAM that i had spare as what i ordered hasnt arrived yet.
First impressions... very pleased with the performance but the case and power fans are a bit noisier than expected. Will post some pics and more thoughts later.
