Netherlands
First of all i want to say,Thanks to Media Portal team for making this great software!
And the MP community for helping me out.
I realy like my first HTPC, I used it for all my media files,Playing emulators and MSN chating.
I was fun to make my first HTPC and later on custum/tweak it to my taste.
After 2 years playing around with my first HTPC build (Fixer's first HTPC).
I decided that is the time to make a new HTPC build,With a faster CPU/motherboard and a good looking case with a LCD screen.
First i buyed a new case a nMEDIAPC HTPC 2000B from ebay for 120 euro's, But when i finaly get it, The front cover was
broken off from the case
But i have repaired it and after i sent a mail to the seller and then i get 36 euro's back from the seller
Then i have replace the fan's with silent Zalman fan's. And i have buyed/build in a low noise power supply. Also i have build in a low noise
DVD-RW rom drive. It is a LG and now i can watch dvd movie's without the reading noise from the dvd drive unit. And i shifted
a 500 gig HDD (OS) from my first HTPC.And added 2x 1 TB HDD's.And i replace the blue(power) and red(HDD) led's with green(power)
and orange(HDD) one's, Now it looks must beter than before
to install the software was very easy, but to do set the right setting's is a another thing. But after some hours it was already working.
Minidisplay and my case LCD screen works also great, And another software i'm using.
Progaming my Logitech Harmoney One was not a easy task. But now it's works great!
Now my new HTPC build looks and working realy great and i'm very happy with it
