Future HTPC

Well, it seems to me that it is a mistake to choose an MSI motherboard over an ASRock. A while ago it was still understandable, but right now ASRock is one of the best options in terms of quality and performance.
EDIT on this: Being the AMD platform, I would put an Asus or a Gigabyte before the MSI. I mention this because the platform influences it. For an Intel, I would put an ASRock today.Regarding the power supply rails, it doesn't matter if it has one or two +12V, the power supply fulfills its function regardless.

Thanks for the source, just as I thought. As for the motherboard brand, there are no other models with the A75 and mini itx, and I've had a few issues with another old motherboard from Asrock, hence my reluctance. Besides, the MSI comes with wifi and bluetooth, which would be perfect for the living room...
-
You can try, although I would put a Gigabyte first…
A question, why the interest in the A75 chipset? Apart from USB 3.0, which almost any new motherboard already has...

With sata 3 and usb 3.0, in the future I'll probably end up with an ssd for the OS and thus gain boot speed
-
The Sata 3 comes in most new motherboards already… :facepalm:
Look at this:
Asrock FM2A75 Pro4 90-MXGKU0-A0UAYZ MotherboardASRock, cheaper than the MSI and with USB 3.0 and SATA3… and the A75 chipset :sisi:

Yes, it's a shame that there are no gigabytes in Mini-itx, if it were up to me and asus and gigabyte I wouldn't choose it but for now it's what there is... By the way the Asrock that you have put is in atx format, I'm looking for the pekes of the family
By the way on pccomponentes they don't have available either the MSI motherboard or the Lian Li case (nor will they have it), so I think I'll have to go to xtremmedia, has anyone bought there? how do they do the assembly and shipping?
-
True, because the only one they have of that type is sold out… --> Asrock FM2A75M-ITX 90-MXGNR0-A0UAYZ Motherboard
No idea about that store, however I have good experiences with Amazon, besides low prices (you have to compare always), also with Pccomponentes and good references from Coolmod and Alternate.

From what I see I will have to make a colllage, because nowhere do they have everything I want for the little one...
Fortunately this month's payroll is delayed so I will have to wait until I get paid...
-
Be careful with collages, lest you end up paying more for the various shipping costs. Try to make no more than two separate orders, get half of the components in one store and the rest in another, although on Amazon there should be almost everything, but it's always good to compare prices before buying.

Yes, that's what I'll try or try to get what's at the same price in a physical store in BCN, so they put the micro on the board which is what scares me the most...
