[freituk]

Thanks freituk, I would be interested in your results. I've order all the parts but the moboard today so it will be a week or so before I start building. Look forward to hearing how things go.

what case are you using with the micro ATX board out of curiousity?

thanks again,

I m going to use my old Thermateck mozart IP

Its a big case... so i don't have any space problem. Thats why i said "a kind of hack mini"
Not sure if this micro ATX can fit on tonymac recommended case (i guess not :/)

My main factor to do this upgrade, to my old media center (hack with e6600), is the power consume. I can save more then 10 € mouth with sandy bridge. I have this machine running some server services 24/7 and ofc doing all the stuff with expected from media center .

Well Mate94, since I was asking your opinion that would be hard to read. But thanks anyway.

I mean I suggested the H61N-USB3. And your next comment was related only to the second part of my sentence.

Hi guyz!
What about this HDD:
2000Gb Seagate (ST2000DM001) 64Mb 7200rpm
Vendor claims that the technology "Advanced format" solves the problem of 4k to 512.
That true? or false?
