[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 20268, member: 11550"] I use this for my HTPC setup: [url]http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=MB-ALKM18GPROV2&input[category_id]=202[/url] It's small, works well and has lots of onboard features. It has no issues shutting down my PC and waking it up again via USB and my MCE remote (although my compro tuner cards don't like this much but that is their issue). Bear in mind that the built in graphics doesn't have hardware DX9 support so MP may run slow if you try to do too many things using only the onboard graphics. I ended up adding in a GF5200. Otherwise, if you want to go AMD 939 rather than Socket A then this is what I am looking at for my next upgrade: [url]http://www.gamedude.com.au/prod_show.php?art_no=mbJEja210gdms_pro[/url] It seems much better than the MSI version, as it has the dedicated onboard memory for video and also supports AMD cool 'n' quiet which in my eyes is a must have for HTPC. I'm keen to find out more about it but there aren't too many reviews and the Jetway website is *very* hard to get around. [/QUOTE]
