Hi Guys,
I am just putting together my dedicated TV Server, and I really am struggling to get this thing even booting up. :cry...
the X4 is definitely faster, although it probably consumes more power obviously. But I would probably gone for something like this too.

Did not build an AMD APU system yet but they seem to suit the needs of a HTPC quite well. I hope the desktop trinity models become more readily available soon. The A10 seems to be a good performer, maybe overkill for a HTPC.

Yes you are right. I'm using one pci and three usb cards so I would loose perhaps one which is not so hard for me but it's really one no go when you have a larger amount of tv cards.
But what I wanted to say is that it could be a good idea also to look for prebuild systems instead of building some own systems.

Hi,
I am just short of ordering some new HTPC components. As I'm pretty much pissed off by AMD the recent years (stability, durability) I want to switch to Intel.

From what I have read about the E350, it has HD playback weaknesses that its bigger brother the E450 overcomes, so you might want to wait for some further comments relating to this.

So, after few days of intensive browsing, I'm leaning towards:
Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3; and
Intel Core i3 2100 3,1GHz or Intel Core i3 2105 3,1GHz to start with and then, if I'm not happy with integrated graphics, add:
Asus GeForce ENGT440 DC Silent/DI/1GD3
Main question:
1. What do you think about that choice?
And few more...

When I moved into this flat I swore I would get a large TV. 2 years later I still have my ex-wife's 19" TV in a 22'x12'.
To be fair I did spend most of a year working away so I spent a very little time at home.
Now I am back in the area on an extended basis I will probably get that nice TV I have been wanting.

Hello rsbrux,
yes, you're right, but Radeon HD's DXVA will be enough for me. The tuner card is expensive, so I can not buy a separate VGA card too.

No need for a gaming card as this will be a dedicated HTPC.

Hi again Kris
As much as I hate to say it, you *might* have a faulty card there. Having said that, not all motherboards support x1 cards in x16 slots even though the standard says it should work - personal experience talking there. I wouldn't set the PCIe slot width to x1 - I would leave that at default. I'd also update to the latest...

Hi,
If i was going to do it again I probably would get something more powerful the ATOM ION (thats what I have now). At the end of the day if you get a 45w CPU your system will never use much more power then an ATOM ION because you will never be hitting 100% CPU.
AMD for sure but to save power use a PICO PSU (150watt) with a dell...
