Hi Karu,

Nice setup you got there with the main htpc. I also love those Omaura cases. I'm looking forward on your build and performance with MP.
Please post some pictures during the setup. Let me know if the OLED display and remote control works fine with MP.

Can you give me an online shop that sells the case, OLED display and remote kit and is able to ship to europe (Belgium)?

Thanks

omaura.com - where to buy

try there, it's omaura's main site with retailers and wholesalers.
US distribution is still kinda well, parts are delayed...unfortunately. But when it comes i should have the rest of hte parts(they said september so bahumbug >.< i might build it without the remote and OLED at the moment but we'll see)

The US provider is Dell. I'm not too sure about the other countries.

Very nice setup I love those Omaura cases andthe GIGABYTE mobo is very good indeed, I use it too in my second build.

Abou the mobo:
Ýou dont use PowerDVD but CoreAVC...
You know that the inbuild HD3200 can do h264 if you use PowerDVD?

that i didn't know. Thanks for the tip! I never woulda thought though this worklog thread will last until september though due to shipping delays(i really want that OLED display, you can edit the graphic it displays).

I'll have to do a test run on it once I get it running. Actually the SFF has an onboard Geforce 8200. I'll test it out with that too to see if it runs fine.
