[QUOTE="GattoV, post: 216562, member: 58518"] Ok, here is a task I'm trying to resolve. I have got a HTPC running MP 0.2.3.0. It's rather large, holds 2TB of data (mostly AVIs and DVDs), is included in big SilverStone chassis and so on. Now I want do place another HTPC in the kitchen area. I suppose, the big one will be a server, so i want to make the second one as small and cheap as possible. Of course, I wold prefer it running MP too. Anybody have any idea? As for now I consider these options: 1. mini-ITX / nano-ITX chassis + ITX MB from VIA (first it's not too cheap, at least here, in Russia, second I'm not sure if VIA CPU will manage with video-decoding, third - ITX chassises are not cheap too) 2. streaming / VOD from HTPC (for example VLC) and STB such as AmiNET instead of the second HTPC (really tricky) :S [/QUOTE]
