Nice. The quality is great. Sounds great that the stock thermal paste is actually working well.

I'm probably going to build an HTPC soon...thanks for the vid...this just further emphasizes my decision in this case...the SATA cable trick was great too...this is why it's good to watch people's videos constantly to find new tricks out there!
2 thumbs up!

[EthanQ]

WOOT
I have to try that twisting Sata cable thing
NICE VID!!!

[anothersiguy]

Yeah, I know. But unfortunately it's hard for me to say.

I could do some measurements, maybe in the weekend? You must remember that the chassis isn't very tall, so any fan on CPU-cooler would be stuck in the top of the cabinet.

But I'll see what I can do.

[nordemoniac]

Oh, sorry, didn't see that Zalmann 9500 AT has side-mounted fans.

Ok, so the height and the 80mm fans is the issue.

I'll check it out!

[BaldwinNguyen]

You should probably use your own thermal paste. The ones that come with the processor is trash. Try looking into Arctic Silver 5 or TX-2 for better heat transfer. Great video and the quality is great. What kind of camera are you using?

[nordemoniac]

Nice trick with the S-ATA cable.

Btw. the RAM.

Won't it perform better if put in slot 1 + 3? To activate Dual Channel...

[WestCoastMods]

yep, can't do crack and build anything. Personally I've had my fun when I was a kid, but know straight as an arrow! And I feel good, my heads a little whacky though. lol

How did you go about hooking up your harmony remote to the HTPC? I'm wanting to do that with my harmony 1100, Did you have to have your remote 'learn' all the IR signals?

[Peter_vn_Frosta]

one question....

must you be used the boxed cooler or can you change it for an greater cooler ?
I hope it now.

my favorit is an Zalmann 9500 AT...but i don't know, if i have enough space between cpu cooler and the 80x80 Sidecooler...you know ?

[francescopesci]

I'm sorry but you should have shown the front of the PC once turned on with the illuminated display is the characteristic of this cabinet

[JohnDoe-kgrw]

you use to much force when you put in the memory sticks.

thanks for sharing i get mine soon.

[alperemr]

Does it work with Remote Control XMBC?
