I guess this would basically be multi monitor support in skins?
It would also allow for those of us who also have a laptop setup to use the Laptop screen for one thing, and the tv for the main playout.

Some things to note in the pics
This is just a cheap case I got off amamax, works until I can afford a d.vine case.
The only complaint I have is the exhaust vent on the bottom of the case for the power supply, unless I keep something under the case to keep it ellavted while on its side the case will run...

Hi all,
Is there anyone who try to put a hvr 1100 or a hvr1300 in a pundit-R ??
The 2nd question is : did it work ?? Indeed the pundit is very selective on his TV cards (see the others topic on it)

Hi Brocklander,
got my PVR500 MCE for about 150 Euros.
A lot of online shops offer the European MCE 2005 Remote for prices from Euro 30,- to 40,-, but at least in Austria i don't know anyone shipping to New Zealand.

Helmut

the 2496 is working very well. I dont know what you mean by 2 different cards, but it offers a hardware mixer that is accessed by several "virtual" cards. Most usefull for pro use I think.
Stable drivers, good sound.

instead of the LC11 I'm going to use a LC02 as I already have a suitable DVD-ReWriter for it and cause it is quite a hassle to obtain a LC11 for a nice price at the moment.
Further I am going to use a MSI FX5200 GFX board as it uses no cooler and it puts me in the position to connect both my TV (S-Video) as...

Hi ya'll
Glad to see so many people using the Thermaltake Tenor. For the cash it's still the best out there. Mine's been running under my TV for a while now and I've not had a single problem with it. I disconnected the front fan and I put in a passivly cooled GeForce 6200 and so the only sound I get now is my PSU. This I shall be...

Nice to see another Irish user on the forums!
I've been tinkering around with MediaPortal for a couple of months now; it's worringly addictive! Really looking forward to the full stable release 0.2 (0.1.3.0 and earlier a bit flaky).
I'm using a Dell myself; purchased from their 'factory outlet'. Found eBay useful, got BTC 9019...

Re: CPU reports 55 degrees celsius in idle mode with orignal
If you ask me .. .the Pundit-R case is not intended for moddings ... there is no root for air in the box.
My personal results are - when modding the box just get hotter, more unstabel and I would'nt dare leaving home having the box on AC power.
My conclusion must...

Good Morning All,
I have just finished my first HTPC.
I bought a Panasonic 34" Tau Screen HDTV (CRT), got a great deal on it, for my, hopefully, Main Display.
I hooked up the HTPC to it and I have Overscan, not a huge suprise. The suprise has been compensating for the overscan. I have been trying on and off for about 3 weeks...

Resolution would be 1366x768 or 1366x1008 (not sure this one).

Yeah, I might just do some adjustments to the PSU fan. Thanks for the info on it.
