[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 863698, member: 98509"] Hi there, Its virtually done! :D The device is up and running. Its W7 x64, withe MePo 1.2.3. The following plugins are installed: Moving Pictures TV Series IFC Bluray handler Online Videos I installed SAF6.09, as I might use FFDShow Audio profiles. I'm running Owlroosts custom DShowHelper and TSReader files. I had major issues getting RTSP streaming to be smooth (even over GBe copper), so switched to using UNC and everything is good. Its connected via WiFi and handles 1080p/1080i fine. Latency checks out ok with DPCLat and LatencyMon. I have disabled all non required services, disabled network discovery, disabled SMB2. One thing I can not get to work properly is the internal remote control - not all the buttons work (I hate dealing with clone remotes and MePo) :( I bought the Streamcom PicoPSU and 150W external PSU. The PicoPSU doesn't seem to be a genuine Pico item (the plastic plug is not yellow, just an off white item - but it all came in a streacom box, so I will be covered by warranty for it). I have fitted the external PSU internally - I checked and its ok. I got a chasis mount IEC socket off ebay and a power cord I cut up. Works a treat :) I didn't go to the all the trouble of braided sleeving - getting lazy in my old age, so I crudely used sprial wrap that I had :D I had a slight noise from the Asus VRM (built into the motherboard), but with the case lid on, you cant hear it at all (slight downside to a completely passive system, is that you can hear any slight noise!) lol Some piccies for you: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0289.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0290.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0291.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0292.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0293.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0297.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0298.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0298.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0299.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0300.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0301.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0302.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0303.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0304.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0305.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0306.JPG[/IMG] Thanks, J.
