[QUOTE="DeGon, post: 28066, member: 16942"] Hi all, Some weeks ago i finished my fanless HTPC Project with MP. Some works still have to be done, but most Problems are solved. The parts I used: Case: Monacor RC-113/SW (19" heat sink rack cabinet) Mainboard: P4-ITX (mini-itx form factor), onboard Audio, onboard Graphic, S-video out CPU: P4 2,8 Ghz Northwood Socket 478 Power Supply: Fanless Engelking U1 HD: Samsung Spinpoint 160GB RAM: 1Gb DDR 266 DVD/CD: slim Sony DVD/CD Combo drive with burner Cooling: 2 Phaseplane Heatpipes TV Card: Pinnacle PCTV PRO Remote: ATI Remote Wonder Plus (RW3) Additional: a dual Riser Card, a Bulgin switch, some copper, aluminium, a front- and a backplate OS: Windows XP Pro (tried with Suse Linux and MythTV first, but had great problems to include the Remote Control) Cooling is made with two Phaseplane heatpipes, sitting between copperplates on the CPU and transporting the heat on the heat sinks. This cooling solution seems to work very fine. A test running the CPU for more than 2 hours on 100% showed max. 53° Celsius on the onboard CPU sensor. This temperature was reached after 1 hour of the test and didn't rise during the next hour. Room temperature during test was 21°-22° Celsius. And here are some pix of this creation: [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/aussenrechts.jpg[/img] [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/aussenoben.jpg[/img] with a normal DVD box on it to compare size [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/aussenfront.jpg[/img] [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/obeninnen.jpg[/img] a glimpse inside, power supply cooled at left heatsink, CPU on the right [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/innen.jpg[/img] [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/kuehlungquer1.jpg[/img] the cooling solution, made of copper, phaseplanes and aluminium [img]http://shirts.malpix.net/neo/kuehlungvoben2.jpg[/img] Note: TV Card was not installed when pix where made. Media Portal runs fine on it, but there is still some configuration work to be done, especially configuring the TV tuner, bringing the CD/DVD to shut up when no CD/DVD is running (unfortunately the CD/DVD beginns turning also when not reading a DVD), configuring the Remote Control to the end. Well, thats it. It really works, but was a lot of work too. Any feedback is highly appreciated. Regards, DeGon [/QUOTE]
