[QUOTE="zicoz, post: 731161, member: 24585"] I found the motherboard which normally sits in an aspire 5820TG and CPU on Ebay. The plan was to build a first protitype on that board, but I'm having some problems tracking down a vital part which is the board where you plug in the power adapter, and the cable that connects that board to the laptop, so atm it's pretty useless. Unless I manage to find that part I'm gonna have to delay the build untill June/July when I can get my hands on a Llano latops to rebuild. What I'm hoping to be able to build is a very minimalistic HTPC that looks good next to todays plasma and LCD TVs. I don't understand why the OEMs doesn't offer something like this. The closest thing I've seen is the Zotac Zacate box, but it still looks too tall to me, what I'm looking for is something more like a mix of a closed Macbook Air and a Samsung P4600 bluray player. Or even better a Dell Adamo XPS. Basically I'm thinking slim, sexy and aluminium. [/QUOTE]
