So I finally got the rest of the parts in today. Props to the Egg for their shipment means, got delivered a day early.

Components are as follows:
Fractal Design NODE 304 Case
ASrock FM2A85X-ITX Motherboard
AMD A6-5400K Processor
G.Skil Ares 8 GB (2x4GB) 1866 RAM
AData SX900 64gb SSD (OS Drive)
3 x Toshiba 2TB SATA III HDD's (will be using Flexraid)
PC Power & Cooling Silencer MKIII 400W PSU
Gonna run Windows 7 with XBMC. Only going to be used for Internet Streaming and 1080 encoded mkv blu-ray rips (handbraked down slightly).
Will be starting assembly later today, pics to come.
First impressions: The Fractal Design Node 304 case is BEAUTIFUL. Extremely high quality for what you're paying for. The powdercoating is immaculate, the white painted HDD trays are beautiful, the brushed aluminum front is just stunning. Very very attractive case for a HTPC. Feels solid and sturdy when together or with the outer shell removed. VERY VERY happy with the choice.
