Keep up the absolutely awesome work Linus and the gang! Your content rocks!

Thanks for the cool contest, Linus. I'd love to win the HTC 8X!

Pretty good case, corsair are renowned for their build quality, looks and all round epicness :)

I had a look at my manual earlier, it seems that there's 3 headers at the top of the board, which I am currently using for my Noctua NH-D14, I'd swear that I read it has more headers.......

To overclock the pi while running rasbian just type: sudo raspi-config into the terminal and it'll bring up a window with an option to overclock. Or you can edit the config. Not sure how to do it in RasBMC though......

I presume by i5 750 you mean the 3570k because that's the unclocked version

In my opinion networked storage is the way ahead, be sure to create a redudency of your main storage space as a backup i.e. RAID 1 etc. I'd recommend using FreeNAS as the OS for the box, as it does everything you need out of the box for free, it has webUI to control the whole box too!

Hi, A few months ago I put together a build with an ASUS P8Z77-V in a Corair 650D, the CPU cooler is a Noctua NH-D14. I was slightly pushed for time at the time, so I just plugged the fan cables into the case's inbuilt fan controller switch, I don't understand fan controllers very well, would it be possible to connect the default config. 2 120mil fans and 1 60 mil fan into the motherboard? Because the lack of the fans ramping up and down really annoys me, especially when I constantly leave it on high and it's really loud

Just recently switched from ADSL to fibre, boy have I noticed the difference went from 3.4Mb/s down on average and 0.1Mb/s up on average to:

Intel, 3570k, overclock it and it runs any game like a beast!

Definitely something based off of XBMC. You could just get a raspberry pi, and run it on RASBMC, then change the skin, to remove any interface lag, it has a lot of the features of a fully fledged media center, only issue is with it not playing all video codecs.

Place to discuss all things BSD related. FreeBSD, FreeNAS etc.

Go for FreeNAS because it's free, it's based on server software, it's easy to configure and it's much better than Windows home server. You get ZFS and UFS with it too, which are software RAID. It has a WEB GUI to interface with it all too, so you don't need a monitor and keyboard plugged into the server all the time. You can also control it via SSH!
