Is saw this review about it: ASRock Core 100HT-BD : Bringing HTPCs to the Mainstream Market [UPDATED : Noise Issue]

 

[melstig]

I have just ordered an Asrock 100HT-BD and I am just waiting for the swedish postal service to deliver it.

I hope that it will fulfill all of my MePo-needs!

Best regards

curious of the performance with MediaPortal, gonna use it as server? or as client?

 

[Mr.Montesa]

Perhaps melstig already did some live tests. He should have received his Core 100 already.
I gonna use it as Single Seat installation.
Depending on the power, I'll run a linux VM on that one too.
We'll see. Let you know, once the box arrived.

And they are releasing yet a new one.... Vision 3D

Sure looks nice, but I'll guess that the price is not.

Found this review

Hi folks,
I now have my system up and running in single seat and the system is almost perfect for my needs.
I have a dual DVB-T Terratec T5 Tuner and a Terratec H7 with a CAM for Swedish Boxer (no HD). The delivery of these tuners took some time but now they are installed. Se my system specs for more details.

The fans speeds up a little while playing video but it is much more quiet than my old big system.

Live TV works like a charm while recording a couple of SD channels in parallell. The only time the the live TV was lagging was when I was copying 300Gigs of TS-files to the HDD over USB3. Then the system reached its limit.

I have played BD just for a quick test, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, with PowerDVD10 Mark II and it worked just fine. I have no information regarding CPU or GPU usage but the CPU was way below 50%.

I only have problems when the systems comeas out of hibernate after the night but I will post a bugreport regarding this. I do not think that it is relatet to the hardware, I hope, I hope...

Hope this helps someone.

best regards
melstig

Update:
The systems total power consumtion including the PS for the H7 is 52W while watching SD TV, 3W while hibernated.

The problem when resuming from standby is fixed, see: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bugreports-74/stops-working-after-being-hibernated-while-87635/

I now have the system on standby when not in use, still the power consumption are 4W.
