Built a little htpc and put it in a cigar box. This thing is tiny! Does everything I want and I have less than $200 in it. Amazon Prime FTW.

That's too cool! Care to detail the specs and whatnot?

ECS Elitegroup ECS NM70-TI Celeron 847 Thin Mini ITX DDR3 1333 BGA 1023 Motherboards NM70-TI (1.0)
[ame]http://www.amazon.com/ECS-Elitegroup-NM70-TI-Motherboards-1-0/dp/B00CEGU3N2[/ame]

1.1Ghz Celeron dual core
4G RAM
32G mini SATA SSD (sits right on the motherboard, no cables!)

That is pretty much it. The board uses a laptop 19V input for power so there was no need to make room or buy a power supply. I mounted the board on some stand offs and there is a small hole in the back for a network cable, HDMI, and the power. It came with a tiny WIFI board, but I decided to just use a wired connection. So far it has played through a 2hr movie with the lid closed and it didn't feel that hot. We'll see how that works out. I put a couple of small momentary buttons on the side for the power and reset function.

I'd poke a few holes in the back at least, to get some air moving around in there. You never know.

Esplendidos are a classic Cuban Cohiba!

Pretty cool on the box. My rig is:

Amd FX6300 @ 4.1ghz
8gb G.skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
Gigabtye GA-880GMA-USB3
Sapphire HD7850 1gb
FSP Aurum Gold 650W
Coolermaster hyper 212
Xigmatek Case
Acer 24" LED.

It's a good budget gaming system. Looking to upgrade to an I5 setup soon.

[Tx Redneck]

I need a new case, bad.

Squeezing every bit of life out of that 460, aren't you?

[Tx Redneck]

It's not even a full fledged 460,its an SE model, the neutered version.

Water cooling gives me a headache just looking at it. That's one hobby I don't mind letting go.

[Tx Redneck]

Loool Why's that CJ?

[CJ]

Just a giant pain in the ass really, sinking tons of money into it and never ever getting a return. To be honest overclocking/water cooling, etc. was a lot more fun when I was a broke ass, trying to squeeze every last drop out of what I had. Now I just don't have the time to play with them - driver issues, lockups, searching for solutions to issues, etc.
