I moved my 720p TV to the bedroom and would like to hook up a quiet PC to it for MediaPortal. Can anyone suggest something that is cheap and known to be stable for MediaPortal?

    For cheapest build you probably need to build a custom pc yourself. there are plenty of threads already to suggest what to put in it. To save money you might get a motherboard with integrated gfx.

    Hi!

    I use an Asus EeeBox EB1012. In Germany about 329,- €. Works perfect with MP

    Full HD / small / silent / save electricity

    A perfect solution for me. (I guess you are in multiseat mode!?)

    I'm in the same situation, but, I've a 22" monitor and I want the HTPC for internet and emulators too.



    It's spanish but I think iit's clear enough... will I have any compatibility problems?

    Thanks!

    The Asrock 330 is good, but not silent. I wouldn't want mine in the bedroom. The PSU makes a horrible whistling noise when the PC is on standby, for a start :(

    MP1 MP2 [solved] Fresh MP2 install issues (no DVD sound / LAV filters) DE
    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.3 Export movie cover art from database to individual folder.jpg files? DE
    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
