When I was looking the cheapest slim-line BD drive I could find was ~$200 (even now the cheapest/only one on Newegg is $153).[/quote]
Just search e-bay for “bc-5600s” and you’ll find some great options for $100 or less. And don’t be afraid to take an external drive and crack it open. You’ll also need a SATA adapter like [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270183]this one on newegg[/url]
[quote=”babgvant”]What ITX board did you get? Some of the H57 boards don’t support the quads (i.e. I think the DH57JG is only rated to 87W).[/quote]
I have the Intel DH57JG and there is a Quad Core i5 that uses less than 87W. The Core i5-750S uses 82W, but again it does not have video. The irony is that with the old architecture of the video being integrated into the chipset, it was much easier to get a Quad-Core with integrated Video. Now, it’s actually impossible and incredibly confusing. I can only imagine how many people get a quad core i5 with a mobo that has video ports and think this should work. Again… thanks Intel! What a Boneheaded design…
