I must say, the case (DH101) is a bit bigger than i thought it would be and heavier, but it was very easy to put everything in place (given that this is my first PC assembly project <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  All the wires found their plugs correctly. The PSU is a bit to much for the machine right now, i guess the next time I will go with a smaller PSU (450W i guess would sufficient) now I have almost 8 wires that are tucked into the case with nothing to connect to them. The ceramic glue that came with the fan was a bit annoying; a very tiny tube that was too frustrating to get the glue out, but it was enough to cover the CPU. The fan itself was very easy to install and fits just fine within the case (although its a big fan). In total there are 5 fans running inside the case, and you could barely hear them <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> very nice. I took out the fan controller for the cpu fan which came with it (i think the case is doing just fine without it) I had it running for almost 12 hours and the thing was so cool and quiet.I installed all the software, Win XP SP2, Avast Anti Virus, VNC, and then came the turn to MP. Installed the latest stable 0.2.3. Now came the time to start working on the iMON. I must say that it was a bit tough but I managed to get the basic controls mapped. I removed all the mapping from MP, and added only the controls that I need. I don't run any TV server on the machine, for that I will hook up my DM600 box and work on the Dreambox plugin (maybe) or i will just leave them seperate, haven't decided yet. I still can't get the graphic EQ on the iMON LCD to work !!I also tried to run the myBurner plugin but no luck until now, for some reason it does not write. First I thought maybe its the DVD, so I tried burning a disc with Nero and it worked fine, so i guess i have to work on that a bit.As for the board, i really can't say much about it until now, still have to try it on some of the more demanding media. I might throw in my SS2 DVB-S card to see how it work on this board just for kicks.All in all, i must say that its a very nice piece of equipment and i'm very happy with it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
