[QUOTE="outlive, post: 235944, member: 65611"] @bigji the mainboard costs around 80€ and will be available at retailers tomorrow (18.02.08) this harddisc is the most quietest there is at the moment - the new Green Power (GP) technology from western digital is an amazing piece of acoustics management. in every test i have read - this harddisc is the most quietest, coolest and least power consuming harddisc they tested so far i like spinpoints too - i got one in my gaming pc - but they are still too loud for my taste :) [USER=61646]kszabo[/USER] i have 2GB of ram (2x1GB in dual channel config) in my work rig and as a graphic artist working in the game industry, the only time i get somewhat close to use all of it is with large scale multilayer textures open in photoshop and maya at the same time...so 2GB of Ram is just wasted in a HTPC, that does just HDTV decoding the operating system is an heavily optimized and neatly cut (nlite) XP Pro with minimal memory-footprint and excellent response times i used vista at work (graphics) for the last 6 months and honestly - vista is slow and bugged, in fact it's so bad we did a XP Pro downgrade on our vistamachines at work last week :) no tv-card at the moment (i use a digital sat-receiver for that), because there are currently no interesting HDTV channels on european satellites and their number is really really limited too - so this will be an optional component at a later time [/QUOTE]
