Xeon E3-1230 V3 HTPC build and Windows Media Center setup

I had been using a tower case sitting next to my TV as my HTPC setup for a few months and decided it was time to move to something that fit better with the entertainment system. Enter the BitFenix Phenom Micro ATX case. Using this case, I was able to move some of my components from the old NZXT tower case into something that I could fit under my TV in my entertainment center.

Be sure to check out the post-build part of the video for how to get everything running with Windows Media Center on Windows 8.1 and my HDHomeRun Prime cable card LAN tuner. With this setup, I am able to record live TV on my HTPC and stream live and recorded TV to my bedroom via my Xbox 360.
