Guys.

Thinking about building my first mini itx build.

It would be used solely for xbmc, normal file it would play are 1080p 10gig MKv bluray rips, along with the odd sd movie.

I was thinking of the below. On iPad so don't have the Addon.

Ssd will be only used for operating system and my music/pictures.

External nas and separate USB drive will be storage for all my movies...

I have a remote with keyboard...

Trying to think if I need anything else.

Also would the power supply in the case be ok for the motherboard and onboard gpu?
obviously I would like it as silent as possible, so if another cooler needed, what one would you recommend?

What op /xmbc version would you recommend, I am using raspbmc just now and the pi just isn't up to the job I'm afraid.

Thanks
 
Had a good look around mate!

The three you linked are at least £80 more than the parts I put up!

Trying to keep it as cheap as possible!

Also thinking about the Revo L70...

Any thoughts on that?
