[QUOTE="loadme, post: 879360, member: 101038"] I am german as well, so thanks for the effort looking into the prices. ;) Glad you wrote a more detailled answer, as I was about to order something more expensive, because I was scared to get enough CPU/GPU power. Thats why one more thing: Are you using exactly those components with media portal? is this setup really able to play fullHD (not only some mkv files while others are stutter?) and isnt there a 24p bug with the intel CPUs? My solution for now was: [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana][URL='http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157273']ASRock A75M-ITX[/URL] - [/FONT][/COLOR]67,87 € picuPSU + power adapter ~ 60 € AMD A6-3500 (65W) - 59€ Kingston 2x2GB Kit, [SIZE=11px][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#002244]1.866[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=11px][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#002244] Mhz - 32 €[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] SSD - TorgX 32GB - 48 € sadly the case is also a little expensive :( [LEFT][FONT=arial][SIZE=3]Streacom FC8 - 139 €[/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=6][SIZE=13px]this would be a completly fanless solution, since the CPU is cooled by some heatpipes coming with the case[/SIZE][/SIZE][/LEFT] [SIZE=13px]and the PSU is external with no fan at all [/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]it should work on low power and wont bother about the 24p bug[/SIZE] and the CPU comes with an integrated GPU unit ([FONT=Verdana]Radeon HD 6530D, dx11, UVD)[/FONT] [SIZE=13px]all in all it seems quiet expensive, but i couldnt find any other speccs that fit my needs:[/SIZE] [LIST] [*]NO NOISE [*]low power consumption when idle or playing movies [*]capable of playing full hd blu ray or any sort of MKV, since i have some older onces that i encoded with a really high profile [*]small form factor [*]digital audio out (spdif or optical, since i dont like to go through my TV :p ) [*]and again: no noise! [/LIST] maybe you know the feeling when there is simply to many input when it comes to buying hardware? ;) I read that you should go for the H77 or Z77 chipset when buying sandy/ivy CPUs in order to get the best GPU support and USB 3.0 I would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe i switch back to the intel system you suggested. Should be around 100 Euro less [/QUOTE]
