So I finally decided to upgrade my HTPC and turn it into a HTPC gaming machine.
Built it using a mixture of MIR, eBay, Craig list parts.
I modified the 5.25 plate to mount the IR receiver and Xbox gaming receiver behind it. The adapters hook up to two internal USB ports. Picture of how it turned out is attached. I can do a writeup on to take apart the adapters and how to modify a plate or case if there is interest.
Fractal Design 1100 case - $25
Corsair 450W Modular Bronze 80+ PSU - $25
Asus B85M-E/CSM motherboard - $50
Intel i3 4130T 2.9ghz - $100
MSI R9 270X Gaming ITX - $100
Crucial 1600Mhz DDR3 8GB (2x4GB) - $55
Hauppauge 2250 WinTV - $75
Win8.1 Pro w/ MC - $20 (dreamspark)
OCZ 240GB Arc SSD - $45
WD Red 3TB - $110
Lenovo IR RC6 receiver - $10
Xbox 360 gaming receiver - $10
2 port USB to Internal header -$6
Total: $631
What do you guys think?
