Hi All,
I've just bought the following case & accessories:
*Streacom ST-FC5S EVO HTPC Fanless Aluminium Case - Silver
*Streacom Nano 150w HTPC Power Supply/Adapter
*Streacom ST-IRRC Multimedia Remote and Receiver
Can anyone suggest a good future proof Mini ITX motherboard and low power CPU (35w and below) for a HTPC (XBMC running on Ubuntu), streaming Full HD content over the network & BluRay 24P, Bitstream Audio, etc. I've heard the AMD E-450 seems to be the way to go, but is there anything more up to the job for this level of low power consumption?
I see someone has been recommended the following, however 65W TDP seems a bit high/excessive, anyone got any thoughts on this?
1 x AMD A10-5700 3.40GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor **FREE SIMCITY PC GAME** (AD5700OKHJBOX) £95.99
1 x MSI A75IA-E53 AMD A75 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £69.95
