New HTPC Spec - Your thoughts (1 Viewer)

[digitalfm]

I know, thanks. Looks like most people recommend the Mini Ninja though because it fits the case and also sits up against the 120mm fan, so can work passively. Any one else running the cooler this way?

Another thing, I wanted to go for a 9 series geforce but there doesn't seem to be any 9 series passively cooled cards out there. The Gigabyte 8600gts seems the quickest so far and from comments on other forums should fit the Fusion case, just. Anyone know of a quicker fanless graphics card out there,.... that will fit in the Fusion.

Cheers

Have a look at motherboards with the new AMD 780G chipset with integrated HD3200 graphics. This chipset is more than sufficient for HDTV, and you can even use it for gaming. No Intel chipset comes even close.

Yea I'm going to be building my first HTPC soon and plan on using a 780g chipiset with a Sempron processor most likely I might go ahead and go dual core though not sure yet.
