All is well :) Mobo is all updated and set up, loving all the things I can do with it! Always so restricted with laptop BIOS it makes a nice change. 7 is all installed and updates, drivers are all current. LCD and remote all working fine. HDMIs all working correctly. All other mobo related...

Dont know what, dont know how, but its working now :s Started from scratch and its all up and running now through HDMI :D BIOS picks everything up ad just installing windows to test Ive not missed ought. Worried about the sound through HDMI really, as long as that works Ill be ok, its enabled...

Told you Id be back :( Everything came today and set about installing. Everything works and fits but no video :( Im a bit flumexed. Went back bit by bit and everything seems fine. Tried a CMOS reset in case it wasnt set to the right video - no go. Have absolutely no idea what it could be tbh...

My bad, sorry about the link :s Bless my missis, she said she'd buy me the case for it saving me 130 so have added a 1TB HDD and 2xPioneer writers to the total (she doesnt have to know Ive added them :P) With a few extra bits and bobs like a HDMI cable and artic paste its coming to £523.32...

Was just looking at that mobo :) I think with the money Id save on a separate gfx card I could put to use on the RAM, might save some time with DDR3 now. Same with quad core, am really surprised at the prices these days was expecting to be struggling to build one on my budget! Ive was looking...

Wow thats all coming in a lot cheaper than I expected! I like the look of that mobo, has all the connections I need and the advantage of the onboard gfx and hdmi OOB, that will save me a few pennies rather than buying a separate gfx card on top. The 6 sata works out just fine, 2 for ODD and...

Ive had issues with WMC in the past which has always put me off as well as a few other niggles I have with it. Been using XBMC as my main app on my xbox, dads xbox downstairs and bros laptop for a while and its great, never had any issues with media, great UI, networkable etc TBH, I dunno about...

Hey guys/gals. My xbox with XBMC is dying so thought it was about time to do a full upgrade. Decided to go for a HTPC rather than something like a Popcorn Hour so I can have the full benefits of a PC as well. This will be my first desktop build in about 5yrs so am a bit out of touch with...
