I forgot to add that when using a Core i5, plan on getting a 3rd party heatsinkfan. The Core i3 comes with a very quiet fan but the stock fan on the Core i5 is too loud for most HTPC duties.

Do you have a recommendation for a heatsinkfan? My case is full height.
Thanks!

My first stop is always SilentPCReview and I trust their results implicitly. If you’re looking for quiet and efficient, anything they recommend will be perfect for an HTPC. Their current list [url=http://www.silentpcreview.com/Recommended_Heatsinks]is here[/url].
