Hello
In about 2-3 Weeks i will assemble a HTPC for a friend.
He wants to receive and record DVB-S and view DVDs, the HTPC shouldn't be to loud but doesn't need to be loudless.
The components i choose:
Case: Chieftec HE-01B with built in IMon VFD with volume knob
Mainboard: Asus M3A78 Pro with HD3200 onboard
CPU: AMD X2 4850e
Ram: 2x2GB DDR2-800
HDD: 2,5" Samsung HM250JI 250GB 5400RPM for Windows, Software etc. and Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB for recordings.
PSU: Seasonic S12II-330HB Energy Plus
DVD: Samsung Writemaster 22x
Cooler: Scythe Shuriken with Noiseblocker BlackSilent XE1 Rev. 3.0, 92mm Fan
Fan: Nanoxia Lowflow FX08-1600 as replacement for the standard Casefan
OS: Windows XP Prof. SP3
TV-Card: Terratec Cinergy S2 with CI-Module optional 2nd Cinergy S2 (He wants to keep his Technisat HDD-recorder in the beginning)
My questions:
Can the CI-module be used by both cards or do i need 2 modules?
If i need 2: as i see the module uses the PCI slot only for mounting, no electrical contact, right?
Can the IMon VFD and remote be used with Mediaportal? What will be displayed on the display?
Fans will be regulated with Speedfan.
The HTPC will be used on a 26" LG lcd-tv.
Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Fabian
