[QUOTE="FredSven, post: 3666, member: 10422"] Hi, I have been using XBMP/XBMC a couple of years now and am planning to upgrade my multimedia solution to a HTPC with Media Portal. This is the hardware I plan to buy: Shuttle ST-62K ([url]http://www.silentpcreview.com/article139-page1.html[/url]) This baby can be made almost silent with proper harddrive mounting according to the article above. It has an integrated vga solution (ATI 9100), and is quite small. P4C 2,8 GHz Samsung P80 160 GB 8MB 2X256MB Kingston CAS2,5 Logtech diNovo keyboard/mouse IMON inside plus remote NEC DVD burner ND-3500 Hauppauge WINTV PVR-250 MCE I havent bought a plasma/lcd TV yet so I am going to use this method [url]http://www.idiots.org.uk/vga_rgb_scart/[/url] [url]http://www.nada.kth.se/~feldt/vgascart/[/url] to hook it up with my 30" 100Hz Samsung TV. Will this work? How will the integrated VGA (ATI 9100) work with MP? It is only DirectX 8.1 compatible. Is there another way to achieve perfect picture in a traditional TV besides the method described above? What do you think of the hardware components? Thanks for all comments! /FredSven [/QUOTE]
