Hi,
because I had bad experiences with my first HTPC (Shuttle SN85) I'll try to get your comments for the above case & board selection - before I'll buy. I've also seen that both parts are used in this forum - so maybe you can share your expirience.
What I want do know is:
Can that board and the Remote be configured that is can suspend (and wake up) to disk and to ram (hibernate/standby) or are there any problems to expect.
The 2nd if I switch the to standby me fans keep turning very noise - does this happen with the combo too (original fans)?
Does the DVI support the 1080p also? What is a better (silent) graphic card recommendation (which supports this HTDV resolution)?
Sometime I had problems with my Twinhan & MP waking up from hibernate - it doesn't work immediately (maybe it's an issue of the OS or MB) - is there anything known with this MSI board ?
Are there alternatives with a better performance and graphic for the µATX form factor - I've no problem to use an P4 instead of an AMD64 cpu
Thanks in advance - but I like to prevent myself buying again a unsatisfying HTPC (components)
Regards
Joe
BTW: I didn't mentioned before but I'll use a twinhan dvb-s CI and thinking about 1 GB memory and 250-300GB HD
