yeah, but what I am worried about is the quality of the graphics and the lag issue. I want it that fast brehbreh. Please,check the specs and give me feedback whenever you can
If all you're doing is streaming then that will be fine.it has a graphics card so the pic quality wont be a problem.

I probably wouldn't multitask with it tho

Once you get the parts the build is easy

I used youtube when I built mine

Youre just connecting the processor, ram, and hard drive to the motherboard and then screwing the motherboard and hard drive into the case

If youre still getting that same case you dont to worry about copping a power supply

I'll find a couple youtube links that show you step by step builds...give me a min

Decided to upgrade to the Lian Li pc-q28 to replace my Lian li q08b. I think I might use the old one as a server after I buy some parts for it. Bought a 4TB drive yesterday too.

14tb of storage now :blessed:

Its gonna take me years to get through all these movies :ohlawd:

i posted links the last time you asked :laugh:

@LeVraiPapi i would pass on that celeron if i was you.I had a i3 in mine and had to swap it out with the i5 in my server cause the i3 was too slow.And all i do is stream,download,and browse the net on my htpc

just go with i5 if you plan on doing any multitasking
