[QUOTE="Gralq, post: 231104, member: 66114"] There.. my first dedicated HTPC ordered, delivered and built. =) Only had it for a day now, but I've gotten most of the kinks out of it I think. Hardware: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H Chassi: Silverstone HTPC SST-LC17S Powersupply: Zalman 360W APS Silent CPU: AMD 64 x2 BE-2400 Cpu Cooler: Scythe Ninja Mini RAM: 2GB DDR2 667MHz HDD: 250GB Samsung Sata2 GFX: Integrated ATI Radeon x1250 Optical Device: None so far NIC: 1Gbit lan And I'm running XP Pro Sp2 with Mediaportal 0.2.3 on it. So far I'm disgustingly pleased with the cpu/cooler/case. =) Just watched a 2h movie in 720p and the cpu never exceeded 30C (idle temp 24C) at any given time during the move, and the cpuload where around 33%. A quick test with a 1080p clip gave a cpuload of about 60-70%. I've added two buildpics, one of the silectpcreview.com inspired softmount of the hdd, and one showing the cable mess that isn't all that bad. =) Most of the cables are either very low, or just under the top of the case.
