In Norway (where everything is ridiculously expensive) the total cost is around 1150 USD. All the parts are listed in the first post so if you would like to check what it costs then just look up those parts on the shop you usually buy from :)

 

Obviously you can make a HTPC with way cheaper parts than the ones I have in my build. This is completely overkill for it's purpose, unless you want to do some simple gaming on the system as well :)

 

EDIT: Oh, and thanks for the compliments! :)

wait 1150 USD for a passive HTPC???! I could build a gaming rig for that much! You aren't kidding about ridiculously expensive there lol

- i7-2600k @ 4.7GHz - MSI 1070 8GB Gaming X - ASUS Maximus V Formula AC3 Edition - 16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws @ 1600Mhz - Corsair RM1000 - 1TB 7200RPM Seagate HDD + 2TB 7200 HDD + 2x240GB M500 RAID 0 - Corsair 750D - Samsung PX2370 & ASUS ROG SWIFT -

Yep. I could've made it much cheaper though, but when money isn't an issue... :P

That looks amazing, something worthy of being in an entertainment center.
