[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 110177, member: 14776"] This is the cheapest way to get less heat - and therefore less noise alongside speedfan. Perhaps. But most passive graphics cards are based on regular fan-cooled parts that have been equipped with larger coolers and a higher price. I have an m-audio card that works ok for me. If you only need spdif out then any card capable of bit-perfect playback will do. cable, sat, terrestrial or IP? I am using a terratec USB DVB-T thingy for terrestrial digital tv. I think you should ask those questions on a forum dedicated to silencing computers rather than one about HTPC software :-) I think that the mini has restrictions on what cpus you can use, I dont remember the specifics thou. regards Knut [/QUOTE]
