[QUOTE="kzvscx, post: 569751, member: 88533"] Hi MyPVR, here are a few hints after a lot of time over my Origen a) the solid state disk will not help you with timeshifting. Also the start up time does not change too much... b) use SSD only if you are looking to make your system more quiet. In this case, use an SSD as a boot disk with MP and your apps installed, but keep all your media on a Network Attached Storage device (NAS). They can be found at reasonable prices ...(!). This way you do not need to have the loud, vibrating disks in your case!!! c) If you want your system to become more quiet you can also loose your CPU cooler. Just replace it with something like mine, or ideally with a silverstone NT01 e ([url=http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=NT01-E&area=de]SilverStone Technology Co., Ltd - Designing Inspiration[/url]). The case fans and the PSU fan will do the trick. For your info my CPU is an Intel E8400. Be carefull with the cooling of your chipset on the motherboard. If you skip the CPU fan it might get hot, although I do not think so because of the heat pipes that lead close to the case fans in the back. d) last point, if anyone is interested I can provide a little script with which you can program your MCE "*" and "#" remote buttons to swap the main moitor from the TV to the case screen and vice verca. The script uses autohotkeys but it requires an ATI GPU because ATI supports profiles while NVidia does not. Cheers, Chris [/QUOTE]
