Amazing HTPC Board
ASRock H67M (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Fast! Installed it with an i5 2400 and it screams! BIOS settings have a GUI that's amazing.
Cons: PCI Express slot isn't spaced to support a double-wide card, thus blocking the mini PCIx slot.
Overall Review: I'm using this board for an HTPC/Gaming machine. So far I've been nothing short of amazed with it.

Pros: Perfect size, fits right in alongside my Sony AV receiver. Fans are well placed and stays cool even under heavy loads. Beautiful design.
Cons: Awkward hard drive mount. Had to use to separate PSU cables for the DVD & HD due to the fact that their on opposite sides of the case.
Overall Review: Really happy with it. Makes a great case if your building an HTPC.

Nice Quiet Power Supply
Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible
Pros: Does it's job quietly. Removable cables helps clean up the cable mess.
Cons: the SATA power cables aren't very long. Each one has 3 connectors but I had to use 2 separate cables for my DVD & HD just because they were on opposite sides of the case.
Overall Review: Great power supply for an HTPC. Had no issues with my ASRock H67M board & Radeon 4620.
