[QUOTE="Pikke-75, post: 849318, member: 120507"] Wow! Such a fast and good reply. Thanks! I used to have a higher spec setup so "the good old days" might be with that one. The beauty of my current setup is that it's almost dead silent while only 2.5" HDD is humming there and everything else is passive. Believe it or not but I'm 110% satisfied with the playback performance even when recording at the same time. I might have to try clean Windows install without all those installs and see if it helps. There should be 4 GB memory even though XP can only see 3,2 or something. I tried Windows MCE once but it's too picky about hardware and especially DVB-T sticks I have so I'd rather stay Mediaportal user. Win 7 licences are still bloody expensive and I'm trying to keep cost for my HTPC reasonable. I might take a closer look into suggested hardware if there are passively cooled itx models available.
