[WTB][EU] HTPC AM3/AM2+ stuff

Inioch · Sep 1, 2009

I'm looking for some HTPC components to build me a media/server/casual use computer.

Specifically I was thinking of AM3 based dual core setup so what I need:

Athlon II cpu (maybe even Phenom II X3 705e or X4 905e) Max 100€ for Phenoms, about 65€ for Athlon
AM3/AM2+ DDR2 mobo, would like a 780G, 785G or a 790G Max 100€
Something that supports the Athlon II
Must have optical SPDIF and HDMI
ATX is fine, can go with a mATX too

EU is preferred, because shipping from other places seems to be expensive and outside EU means taxes and customs.

Plus, it's going to be a desk/drawer mod!

Great guy here!

Help him out!

Edit, cool on the desk. Remember, lots of pictures!

If you need them, i have a TV PCI Card and a spare DVD-Drive (Pioneer, SATA).

Inioch · Sep 1, 2009

Hmm, I might have use for the dvd-drive, how much? That tv-card seems to be the wrong format. It's dvb-s? I have dvb-c (cable). Thanks for the offers.

And yes, pictures are going to come, once I actually get something. I have a few ideas already. I have to keep the front original, because of social pressure

I have a Athlon X2 AM2 socket 2.4 gigs for sale if you need. Btw sorry my question but i always wondered what HTPC meant. thx

Inioch · Sep 1, 2009

Thanks Mohawk, but I'm currently looking for an Athlon II chip.

HTPC = Home Theatre Personal Computer, basically a multimedia computer. I plan on using mine as a file backup server too. Going to hook it up to the tv and surround sound system.

MohawkAngel · Sep 1, 2009

Athlon X2 = athlon 2 i suppose. is there a difference really? Ok so i have a HTPC

Inioch · Sep 1, 2009

Yep, there's a difference

Athlon X2 are s939 or am2, and Athlon II X2 are AM3 and totally different core. I want the newer AM3 Athlon II X2.

MohawkAngel · Sep 2, 2009

Ok mine is AM2 not s939

Inioch · Sep 3, 2009

So, anyone?

Inioch · Sep 4, 2009

Seems like everyone is loving their Athlons, but surely someone has an AM2+ board that they don't need?
I'm just itching to get started. Not a good combination when you have zero patience, lots of ideas and little money.

Eh well if you wanted to go quad core I'm already bored with my energy efficient one, I'd prefer something I can do silly bench marks on heh.

If no one has anything, I guess I'll just have to buy them new.

bogmali · Sep 9, 2009

I have this setup; Phenom Triple 8450, Gigabyte MA78GM-S2HP, and an Antec NSK-2480 case. The shipping part is what's not going to make it a good sell.

Inioch · Sep 9, 2009

That seems to be the case. There's stuff in the US, but not in EU.

Sweet! I've got a Phenom II X3 705e coming up from kenkickr (big thanks dude!). Now all I need is a mobo. Anyone got anything at all?
