Ongoing Mediaportal in a real original Mediaportal case! (1 Viewer)

[Schmidti]

Searching for a nice software for my Mediaportal i came up with this software. I was a little bit unhappy that it not supports intels I810 graphic ship (no direct x9 support) that was/is on my motherboard. So I decidet to take the case and build up a new HTPC. It´s still under developement.

that´s my old MediaPortal: (from M. Technologies)
Hardware:
orig. Mediaportal: QDI-, Celeron 800MHz, 256MB, WinXP SP2, Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250, Cardreader, GLCD 128*64, 80GB
Software:

I also own this fan. It is not _absolutely_ silent (as in passive cooling) but for a fan, this one is amazingly quiet (especially if you consider the costs [ 6.50€ www.reichelt.de]).

Here you can see the topview of the chassis including the installed Radeon 9550SE, 2 pictures of my IR-receiver including power-on (by button and IR), 2 color (green,red) LED and MIC-in. And you can see my GLCD incl. LPT cable.
