HTPC

Thanks to a spinal injury many moons ago(2007) it is much easier for me to be a couch gamer so this is what I use for 80% of my gaming needs. I had been on the fence for months about using the awesome Halo GPU I won in my HTPC because lets face it, it needs to be seen!  However I was really worried about having thermal issues in the HTPC case that I have been using for years! I kept going back and forth on whether I was going to do a complete new build and if that build was going to be full size or ITX and if I did a new full size build I had no idea where I was going to put it . I finally fell off the fence and said ok lets just see what happens from a thermal standpoint with my HTPC case and after passing benchmarks with no issues, which frankly I am really surprised about the results, I am kicking myself for not throwing that 6900xt in sooner!
