$20 AR is nice...

"Limit Two (2) rebate per qualifying rebate offer."
Cool, so they allow hoarding.

Looking for a cheap mATX board with this. Why most of mATX board do not have the HDMI? I really want to build a HTPC!

[thetimebytime]

I did my research and it looks like the cheapest setup is, around $170.
I think Tigerdirect's bundle deals on midtowers are much better deal,
cause you get everything except HDD.
You get Quad-core CPU, 8GB Ram, Good Case with decent PS and more.
For this AMD to work properly as a mini pc,
you gotta buy APU, RAM, CASE (micro atx are expensive!) HDD, Motherboard.

Just realized this CPU doesn't include a fan.. Is it necessary and if so where can I get one?

[bargain man]

^ of course a fan is necessary

Don't worry they are not very expensive. If you are just using it as an htpc any $15-20 heatsink fan should be good enough. You can find one at any computer store

something as cheap as this should be good enough. Just make sure that the fan is quiet enough for your tastes if it is indeed being used as an htpc

apu:40 -20 (has a fan, since this is the box version../ i think theres a mistake in the listing)
mobo:50 - 10
case+psu (matx): 40
ram 4gb: 18
= 148 -30 = 118 +hdd

also, you dont need micro atx cases for micro atx motherboards.. you can use any bigger size atx ones too.

Definitely a cheap build, considering you get all the MIR back

AMD Sempron 145 is recommend for budget unRAID server build. How’s this A4-3400 compare to the AMD Sempron 145 2.8Ghz EARN CASH BACK, and is this a better CPU than the Sempron 145 for unRAID? Thanks.

Cancel that order? It's too expensive (~$100) plus it's a refurb.

Could you possibly add a dvi to hdmi adapter for like 10 bucks like http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16812270286

Is there any loss in quality and I'm assuming one would also get sound when hooked up to the tv with this adapter ?

thanks
