I might go for another 120 or bigger SSD If I get low on space, The Corsair GT seems to be working fine so far, Hope it stays that way?

Time for some tweaking>

Late last year I spec'd up a new home server. I don't need a HTPC as I use media extenders. The new one I looked at was going to cost me a touch over $2k, then when the HDD prices went up it pretty much went down the toilet. The main thing being it had long life and large storage capacity, based entirely off m-itx and an Atom CPU, and a small case. Although still trying to think a way to keep the power consumption down as it's on all the time. Currently at 7TB storage but going to need more soon :(

I have installed another 8GB of RAM & Corsair H60 liquid cooling now and it is much tidier and running cooler by nearly 10c

I am going to mod the H60 and install a 5.25" drive bay reservoir, I will get some pics then

What temps are yous getting with your HTPC? Liquid or air cooled

This is idle (FX-6100 running @ 3600) with a modified Corsair H60 & 24 degree C ambient temp>
