[QUOTE="ppeterr, post: 377733, member: 79888"] Just discoverd this topic, and i would like to share a little of my first htpc setup. I was strugeling with some heating problems, but now thats fixed, i am really satisfied with this setup. I dont have pictures yet, with the case open. But there are a lot of users, with alike cases, and hardware like mine - so, ofcourse if anyone would like to see it, or anything not shown on the pictures - i could show later on. here we go, what do we see.... actual HTPC CPU: AMD X2 5000+ Black Edition (Scythe Ninja Mini passive) MEM: 4GB OCZ DDR2 1000MHz Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H Graka: 780G igp HDD: 500GB Samsung T166 x 2 (1tb total) DVD: Samsung SH-S203 PSU: 480Watt Antec NeoPower Case: Antec Fusion Black Screens 50 inch Pioneer plasma (hdmi) 21 inch HP LCD (dvi) Audio: Denon AVR 1800 - fed through SPDIFF (in the cabinet) Chario 5.1 setup (look close next to the htpc to see the mid speaker) TV Humax decoder (ziggo) -> to be replaced for or floppydtv or a stand alone humax pvr - also connected optical to the Denon amp. Remote: logitec harmony 785 thrust media center keybord Oke that was sort of the hardware :) Now for the software Windows Vista Ultimate - ALL updates Ati catalyst 8.9 + all normal recent gigabyte drivers Speedfan Media portal 1.0 (blue3wide) deamon tools Imon software (most recent) Ffdshow tryouts (latest) Ac3 Filter CoreAVC/hali PowerDVD 8.0 Thats it for the software, nothing more, as clean as possible. This plays it all nice and without problems. I encounterd some heating problems, with the cpu totally passive, so i place a second fan right on the side of the cpu. This one controlled by speedfan, and runs really slow (around 800rpm), and only should go faster if the heating would be above 50 degrees (didnt happen yet). On the attick i have a media server, running on linux, doing download jobs etc, ofcourse this is networked with the htpc. So thats it, i am one happy Mediaportal user :) [/QUOTE]
