You need to check the connectors Power SW , Reset SW , HDD LED , etc., who come from the box in short, are properly connected to the motherboard. As reference , the back of each of these connectors you will find a small triangle that indicates which wire is the most . In the doc you based on your motherboard, check that there is no error or reverse polarity ( polarity reversal once during editing gave me the same result as you with big sweat at the key). Then, keeping only the CM , memory and processor.

It's nice to see that you know a HTPC = a minimum budget .
Several things :
1) What is the sound installation of your pal ?
2) If you want some quiet, it means the cold, so forget the HD 4850-4870 . Take the side rather lighter ATI or Nvidia (see the article on temperature GC has already been posted several times) .
3) Recall your buddy has it that the remote is infrared, so he must direct his cabinet to make it easy to target from the couch .

I am agree that a HTPC worthy of the name must be as quiet as possible. The use of a DSS drive system provides increased performance and silence. Its use allows to store its data on a 5400 rpm drive that can virtually inaudible to Also, be suspended by the system when not requested. Corsair sent us a P64 which, as its name suggests , has a capacity of 64 GB is based on Samsung's second generation controller and with a cache of 128 MB It boasts a speed reading 220 Mb / s and 120Mo / s in writing and is compatible with the trim . Her hull aluminum gives it a nice finish.
