Hi every one

Just want to ask all the sifus here.

I have a core 2 quad and an Ati 6870 lying around. Planning to fix up a htpc with it. Will be getting a 2 or 4 gb ram for it.

Do you think it’s ok performance wise for a htpc or should I get an i3?

Further more what casing would be roecommended if my budget at 200

Thanks in advance

For 1080p rips/remux and streaming, shouldn't be a big issue unless you are going to be using SVP and madvr ultra preset.
For 4k, neither hardware will be enough.

As for casing, at RM200... does it matter? Just get whatever that fits in your space?

Thanks for your reply and your input. Really appreciate it and happy to not needing to spend money on maybe an intel thumb pc.

Honestly I don’t have a space restraint but would like some recommendation in regards of aesthetic reasons that looks good beside a tv and can fit a normal size gpu in regards of the back io.

can look for silverstone or cooler master htpc casing.. surely nice aesthetic.
im using silverstone mATX square case. fit nicely in my current TV cabinet.

thanks for your suggestion.

Ya I love the Silverstone Chasings, so clean the look but they are above my budget (finance minister not happy i spending so much on a tv set up), the cooler master ones are also nice but my finance minister say look like micro wave oven so made me second guess it.

I am considering the Cube from Segotep, trying to get a Black version.

or

AVF Gaming Freak Dark Wiccon

Both are within my budget and neat looking with a modern touch.
