hi guys,
after 2 months of ordering equipment and configuration i finally managed to get everything working as it should:
See attached pics...
and here are the details of the media equipment:
AV Receiver: Cheap and old Sony Dolby AV receiver (will be replaced by a Onkyo SR 605, once my speakers are repaired)
HTPC:
Case: Silverstone GD01MX
CPU: AMD 4200+ EE
MB: Asus M2A HDMI 690g uATX
RAM: 2gb ddr2-800 MDT
HDD: 2x 500GB Samsung
Fancontroller: 2x Zalman fancontrollers for manually setting the RPM of the case fans
PSU: Seasonic 430w
Graphics: onboard ATI x1250 (using 1080p resolution via HDMI)
Sound: onboard ALC883
DVD: Pioneer DVD-Rom
remote: DiNovo Mini with ueberoptions software for full MP control
this configuration together with the Zalman Fan mates allow me to have a very silent HTPC.
The HTPC is connected to a Samsung LE40A558 LCD Screen (40 inches). Other devices on the pics are a nintendo wii and the wii fit board, which is actually fun to use...
Upcoming objectives: exchange dvd rom drive with Blue Ray drive and get a passive graphics card. the onboard ATI x1250 is not capable of playing Blue Ray media. But maybe, i will go for a 780g mainboard anyway... Furthermore, i am thinking about buying an ipod touch, so that it connects to my htpc via VNC. (allegedly there is a software which allows me to only display a virtual keyboard on the ipod touch)
greetz,
Kian
