Should all be fine, only comments would be:
- OC GPU: You will not need it OC'ed but as long as it is quite you should be all good
- TV Tuner: I'm a big fan of the HDHomeRun as you don't have to install any HW in PC's (it would solve your space issue)
- HDD: In my shuttle I put a 7200 2.5" 120GB Laptop HDD as it was quite, low heat etc. If I was to do it today I'd even consider a 64GB SSD as all my media is on the LAN so I don't need any storage over Win7 64-Bit, MC and that is about it!
Yeah I agree I have read the HomeRun is a great tuner, but since I have already invested $300 on the Ceton, I am going to make use of it in the new system. I'll just have to ensure that the cooling is well planned for that and the video card.
I was thinking of going with this for the mobo:
ASRock H55M/USB3 R2.0 LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
or maybe
ASUS P7H55-M PRO LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Both of these should work well with the Lynnfield CPU....i'll be reviewing the specs further but either one should do the job.
