Hi, has anyone had experience intergrating something like this into there Home system with Media Portal?
I have 1 Server and 2 Clients
I was already using a server solution for my datas before starting to use MediaPortal (since i'm already a user of a SqueezeBox 3).

Hey,
Looks like a good setup. Much more powerful than my humble HTPC.
One question, why do you need dual optical drives?
Now, as for the Operating System ... Well, Windows XP SP2 is rock solid these days, so anything else in my mind is a risk. MediaPortal seems to have some small compatibility issues with Vista (this is...

Hi,
I have just setup mediaportal up on a HP t5720 thin client running XP Embedded SP2. I run TV server on another box and so the thin client feeds directly from that via 100MB Wired Ethernet connection.

Well, I know my way around silent and efficient systems, so...
First thing first: Your PSU has waaay too much power. Get a Seasonic S12II 330W, it's a great PSU, very silent and very efficient (80+ certified).
Since you have opted for a standard tower case... I'd recommend you ditch the Alpine and buy a Scythe Ninja instead...

Do you have any issues playing HD DVD currently?
If not then I would say that you do not need to change anything with regards to the MB and CPU. I am currently using the P4 2.4 and a HD2600 for shifting the HD load from the CPU to the GPU and mine works fine.
The 8600 should also be able to provide HW acceleration for HD...

This is specifically referring to Dolby True HD and DTS-HD, these are the audio formats used by Blue-Ray and HD-DVD. The Dolby Digital and DTS formats used by 'normal' DVDs can be transfered via S/PDIF and will not be downmixed.

I had a similar problem where all movies would come to a horrible stuttery halt after about 40 minutes. No end of driver updateting and settings changes fixed it. This was also the case if I played the movies in windows media player.
In the end I resolved it by installing Reclock (it's the first hit if you google 'reclock').

I don't know your potential when it comes to what you can do with the case (box). But it will be very tricky to get a regular X2 4400+ CPU working quietly in that case (my opinion). The problem with it, as I see it, is that the case is too low. This will make it hard to get a cpu cooler in there that can do the job as well as stay...

Hey guys,
I'm running an AMD system (3.0 dual core) with a GeForce 8800 GTX. I also have the media pc motherboard from ASUS (M2NPV-VM). I'm running Windows Vista. I have all this running into a 720p High Def. Epson projector. I was wondering what the best input PCI card for high def video would be for this set up.

You might have to make your own to get it for a reasonable price. When connecting my projector to an HDTV STB I just made the componant to D-Sub cable. Usually these speciality cables are fairly expensive.
