My HTPC build, finally built! With Pics!

[413x]

After a fair few threads i have finally built my fairly pricey [more so than i thought originally] HTPC

Specs

Silverstone GD06 case
Corsair TX650 PSU -cable nightmare
MSI H61MA -E35 USB3/SATA3
Intel i3 2120 CPU
Big shuriken CPU cooler - good choice this, there is practically 5mm clearance between the top of the cpu fan and the optical bay caddy]
4GB 2x2GB Kinston HyperX CL7 1333 RAM
Crucial M4 64GB SSD
Nvidia GT430 1GB GPU [may change, was under the impression best for 3d]
samsung f4 2TB HDD - 3 more to follow when cheaper
Samsung B083L Blu ray reader

I aminly went with this PSU because it got a really quiet rating at under 350W, 21 dB, but it is/was an absolute nightmare!

Have pci-e cables, two sata power cables, 2 molex cables, the standard mobo cables,

then i have all the sata cables, the 3 fan power cables, the usb header cable, its not pretty, and i cant do any better with the space! ive tried.

Will be loading windows 7, media center for tv [need a dvb-t2 dual tuner in there] vlc probably for standard MKV blu rays,

have yet to try 3D blu rays, but i am thinking stereoscopic player - this will be trick to work, may just use 3d ISOs and play though a a retail player.

this is all hooking up to my 46GT30

yes good spot case is open as im working on installing to SSDs into it, the htpc is there on the floor atm as its hooked up to my dell u2711 just for installing etc testing.

i picked the case as it is identical in size to my yamaha AC receiver, which is also black with white hi lights
