[QUOTE="matmat, post: 896568, member: 129496"] Hi! I want to build an opensource/linux based HTPC which has some special requirements: The case is limited to 404*216*75 mm (a first generation Commodore C64) It should be able to play 3D on my Acer K330 (requires: 1280x800 @120Hz consecutive Frame 3D) What is working: An adapter from the C64-Keyboard and Joysticks to USB working (keyrah) A Slot-in BluRay Player + USB Connector circuit and 2TB WD green HDD to Fit into an 5"1/4 Commodore floppy drive. A set of 6cm ventilators (one for putting air inside, one for sucking air out of the case) A 120GB SSD for the System. A micro PSU with up to 192W (Ituner picoPSU-160-XT) What is missing: A descent miniITX (size!) Mainboard with on-board Graphics that Supports the kind of 3D I need! (in combination with Scythe Kozuti 40mm CPU cooler?) I fear there is no space (and not watts) for a dedicated passively cooled 3D card. What APU could you recommend? Should I wait for the new AMD Trinity? A10-5700 seems decently priced compared to Intel Ivy-Bridge and with 65W TDP including HD7660D graphics it should well meet my needs? [/QUOTE]
