    I built a multi region Blu-ray Player with a dell optiplex 3010 at a great price, better than spending tons of money, great job on this one!, it looks compact and cute

    Thanks for the video! It gives me confidence to build my own. I love that case!

    I built a system in this case using a Intel quad core SoC and a SSD, in total I paid less than 200€ for a 100% silent HTPC. They could make this case cost 3 times as much and I'd still recommend it.

    Is there a room to install casing fan 25mm thickness on top casing to suck air out? Assuming no optical drive nor ssd.

    im confessed thats a laptop dvd/cd drive and those you press a button to pop out how does the tray pop out if theirs just a small slit on that case?

    Love your stuff man :) its great! Though you really need to speed things up, make the video 1 minute for the intro 2-3 minutes for the parts list, and 1-5 minutes for the overview, then 1 minute for the conclusion. otherwise maybe some background music would help:) good luck!

    • @HTPCCrowd
      @HTPCCrowd  8 років тому +2

      Yes Yes Yes! I have completed two new builds and I've been thinking long and hard about how I can make those videos less than 10 min. Thanks for the advice and good luck on your channel as well!

    Hi, great videos. Do you think I could fit the new Kaby lake Pentium g4560 running at 54watts TDP in this case? That would give me 4k @60 via DP or with adapter for DP to HDMI 2.0. Thanks

    You can save costs with the case. Wesena sells an identical case under their brand for $48.

    Amazing video MAN!! I have a question: Which IR controller do you use? And how programming this? Nice project!!!

  • @ltguy

    Just fyi media center is possible on windows 10, using it right now with cable card tuner. Its just not working with premium channels like hbo etc.

    • @HTPCCrowd
      @HTPCCrowd  8 років тому

      +Loren Howe Great news! Is there a website where I can learn more about this?

    • @ltguy
      @ltguy 8 років тому

      +Somefa This is a little newer version than i downloaded but the instructions are the same. lifehacker.com/get-windows-media-center-running-on-windows-10-with-a-f-1729919907

    • @HTPCCrowd

      I just finished a new build. I will try this with that one. Stay tune for a new video by next week. Thanks!

    • @ltguy
      @ltguy 8 років тому

      +Somefa Heres a link to my current htpc, although its not very subtle like yours. Tuner card, sound card, and mass storage are all external. My last htpc had a blue ray drive but like you i've been unable to find a slim one I like for this build. linustechtips.com/main/gallery/album/2356-living-room-gaming-pc-revamp/
      Cant wait to see your new build!

    • @ltguy
      @ltguy 8 років тому

      +Loren Howe Oh and you might like this one. A super small build i did with the exact same cooler as this one is this video. Thought that cooler looked familiar. linustechtips.com/main/gallery/image/8370-image/

    What remote control are you using for your IR receiver? Can you use it to turn on the PC?

    • @HTPCCrowd
      @HTPCCrowd  9 років тому

      +Bado Seroy Anthing is possible with a lil work but with this setup no you can not use a remote to turn on this pc. I use one similar to this www.amazon.com/Rosewill-RHRC-11002-Windows-Certified-Controller/dp/B005ZAK50K/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1451845911&sr=8-24&keywords=pc+ir+remote+control

    Hey bro, really love your content of making htpc.. I love htpc and want to make one too. I have a suggestion for you bro, try to make your video straight forward and speed things up like only 10 minutes video. I also have a UA-cam channel of gaming and also manage my company UA-cam channel about system builder, we also make videos about building and review pc. Your content is great, i love it.. But your videos are too long.. Keep it up bro..!!
