hi,
I am building a SFF/HTPC and wondering if you could check my build and make sure that everything is compatible.
I would also like advice on a DVD/CD drive and a TV tuner card for it. I am going to be buying the parts from CPL


thanks in advance.


Mobo Asus P5P43TD I just realised that it's not micro-ATX can somebody suggest a good micro-ATX motherboard

Cpu Core 2 Duo E7500
ram Kingston 2GB ddr3 13339c
Gpu Asus 1G 9500GT
Hdd seagate 500Gb SATAII
psu Lian Li Maxima Force 470W
case Antec Mini P180

If i was you, i'd pass on the E7500, i have the E7200 and it isn't all that great in a htpc, also try to get at least 4gb of ram, since some movies might be a little too much to handle.

GPU wise, i wouldn't go anything lower than a 9600 gt but that's me, the psu isn't one of the best brands so keep that in mind when powering your whole system with it
