    Yes it is!!!

    I'm thinking of cooling my cpu passively and using a quiet but fan-cooled PSU or as alternative using a quiet cpu-fan and a passive CPU.

    Your tests are very appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,

    Michael

    I bought myself a Zalman ZM460-APS a month ago. There is a fan in it but this power supply is absolute qiet and it helps with the air flow in the case. I have a pasive CPU cooler so now the only thing I can hear is the HDD.

    Hi Tomas!

    What CPU are you using in the passive setup, and even more interesting; what passive cooler are you using ?

    Hi

    I have a Athlon 64 3000+ with a Sonic tower on top:
    http://www.thermaltake.com/product/cooler/retail/cl-p0071/cl-p0071.asp

    Now this CPU cooler is enormus so I do not recomend it in a smal HTPC box, but it keeps the CPU temp low whitout a fan.

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
