Hi chaps,
My HTPC is currently sitting in the full ATX Silverstone LC-17 and to be frank, it's bloomin' large. It consists of a E2200, full 3.5inch HDD, full 5.5inch Blu-Ray drive and full size 550watt Corsair PSU.
I want to shrink it down as far as possible so it doesn't look like the obelisk from 2001 in the living room. I can sell the full size board, reuse the PSU, swap out the HDD for a 2.5 inch HDD and get hold of a mini-itx board so here are my requirements:
Must be small, slimline or SFF.
Must support full size Blu-Ray drive.
Must have a PSU that can support a Core 2 Duo.
I like the Silverstone Sugo, but it only takes slimine drives. Any other ideas? The PSU seems to be the killer, few mini-itx and mAtx boards sport PSUs over 100watts.
