My HTPC
Name: Liam Neeson
Case: Lian Li PC-C60
GPU: MSI GTX 950 Gaming 2G
Repurposed my i7 920 and Asus P6T Deluxe v2 and built myself a dedicated HTPC that plays back anything I could throw at it. Added in a Silverstone SATA III controller card, USB 3.0 card and a Samsung 850 EVO to get it up to date. Used a Thermalright AXP-200R low profile cooler to keep everything nice and quiet. The MSI card's fans never spin up unless under load and since I rarely (if ever) game in the living room it is dead silent as well. The GTX 950 has a built in HEVC (H265) decoder so it's basically the perfect card for my application. The Lian Li case takes the full sized ATX board and fits in with the other AVR equipment like it belongs there. Optical out to my Denon. HDMI out to the Panny. Configured to load up Kodi at boot. Controlled by Yatse app on my Nexus 6P. Freakin' sweet!
My main rig
Name: Robb Stark
Case: Antec P280
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Mainly a workstation that I game on occasionally. The 4790K is lightly OCd at 4.4Ghz. The GPU was a stop gap measure. My LG rez is 2560 x 1080 so the 970 works beautifully. I want to go 4K, but will wait to see what AMD releases with Polaris before making a decision. I will get a new monitor at that time. It's primary purpose will not be for gaming so it will not be cheap.
