Very nice build, wish I could get something like that. What was the total cost?

You must have some duff noctua because they are the closest things to silent you can get.

Or perhaps the Antec ones where at a different voltage. As the tri-cool fans have a much higher db than the noctua.

Nice Build

Very nice build, thanks for the snaps.

I'm looking to do something similar, but I've currently got too many HDDs (and can't afford to replace 2x500GBs with a 1tb or bigger at the mo). Can you let me know if there is space to stash a 3.5" HDD in the gap behind the LCD screen, which looks as if it is just a 5.25 bay?

Also, for info, if you ever need a bit more headroom above the HSF, you can just pull off hte chrome caps on the mini ninja with a pair of pliers, as they're purely decorative.

nice looking system, building mine soon once my parts arrived will most probably post some pics aswel as a lot more people getting in to the HTPC scene

I'll second that, I've got the silver Antec case with the same mobo, mini-ninja (no fan) and a couple of Noctau fans in the case and I can't hear a thing from the case.

One of the best HTPC builds I've seen on the web IMO.

Good thread- I am looking to build a HTPC very soon so a ballpark cost figure would be great if you don't mind?

In case anyone else needs to know the answer to this, yes you can fit a HDD behind the imon LCD screen, BUT it gets fairly warm as there isn't enough ventilation here, and its not got the same rubber fittings so it ends up being the noisiest thing in the case.
