I have an entire i5-750 system laying around in pieces that I keep saying I am going to turn into a TV gaming machine. This thread has given me some things to look into, especially concerning keyboard input.
Now if I could just find the motivation to actually get everything put together. I was really hoping to put everything in a nice small enclosure, but trying to find a mATX or ITX socket 1156 motherboard these days is damned near impossible. Well, unless I feel like paying 3x the cost for some no name brand.
I put mine in a Fractal Design Define R4 case. Not a single person I've met so far has known it was a PC. It's right next to my entertainment center, most people think it's my subwoofer despite my 15 inch subwoofer (that's BRIGHT RED) sitting next to it.
Don't see the obsession with trying to force everything into extremely tiny cases.
