In the process of building your own HTPC or did you complete one? Show them to other MediaPortal users!
Sounds great. Beats paying these $1500+ that the "chains" sell (DSE,Harvey Norman,etc).

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.
Having just set everything up I am not entirely happy as performance is a little sluggish but I cannot really comment too...

Hi Magnush,
I've got a similar setup as you do, see https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my_htpc_project_parts_and_config-t28118.html.

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...

The Northbridge (Geforce 6150 / MCP51) runs very hot but stable. I test the system with 3dmark06 in a loop for many houres and the CPU reaches ~55°C. I use RMclock and in the Idlemode (1Ghz @ 0.95V) is the temperature below 35°C. The fans are very quite and temperaturecontrolled. :D

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...
