[QUOTE="James, post: 23313, member: 12681"] Hi, For low power, I had an idea of finding a laptop on ebay with a broken screen. Some on them have quite good on board graphics ATI or nVidia. On ebay you can also find the docking stations which often have 2 PCI slots. It would take a little work to pull it all apart and built it into a new case, but in the end you would have a lower power, quite solution. Still haven't found the right combination at the right price. If only dell would make a HTPC base on laptop parts. They are now selling units at under CHF 1000.- here. Take the screen away put it into a nice case with TV tunner and bingo the best HTPC on the market. Food for thought. /James [/QUOTE]
