Anyone know of a HTPC case with dual 120mm exhaust fans? (1 Viewer)

Are you sure it was a HTPC case? Dual 120's would make it pretty big for a HTPC case.

Looks stunning!
May I ask why you want 2 x 120? My LC17 (http://www.silverstonetek.com/de/products-lc17.htm) comes with 2 x 80, reducing them to 5V makes them less loud than my passive cooled VGA card
Just asking cos u might like a case with 2 x 80 and are scared of the noise level they might produce since there is a solution to this.

The Antec NSK-2400 (cheaper version of Fusion) also has 2 x 120 mm (3 speed fans).

indeed Spragleknas is right
the nsk 2400 difference with the fusion case is that fusion has a vfd and 420 psu while on the other hand the nsk has no vfd and a 380psu
both cases imo are one of the best value for money cases out there, only sideback its both are matx if thats a concern for you
nsk is around 80-90 usd and antec fusion around 180usd

The Fusion also have real aluminium front - whilst the NSK2400 has a (good) imitation. The VFD takes up a 5.25"-space.

Damn, those are some nice looking cases.
To be honest I want a bit more room (ie more drives) than the fusion allows, and a VFD is a must.
4 drives would be about right, but comparing the silverstone cases... LC16m is slightly smaller than the LC14m, and holds more drives?!
So... they're really that quiet?
Nice.
What are you guys using to control fan speed then to make things quieter?
Some PWM controlled thingo that is part of the bios?
speedfan? How can you be sure speedfan will work on a given mobo?

Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site.

Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

Hello!!!
I use a handy app called catchin' sync to roughly check the AV sync of audio/video on my HTPC/TV. It's not as accurate as a dedicated opto-electronic calibrator but it's more than adequate for this application and much better than trying to do things by eye (even when the lack of sync is massively obvious, subjective...

What I meant is that we have a MP2 plugin called UPnP Render that can play media from DLNA servers if I remember correctly. I don't know the current state of the plugin though.
That's why MP2 probably never will be certified. ;)

I found the same anyone starting out can very easily get lost in the plugin then patch then ask for help which can be a while coming round about as the are sometimes a few patches that apply to a specific problem and sometimes need to be applied in a specific order for the fix to be successful.
