[QUOTE="MrSensitive, post: 8829, member: 10304"] hi all, last weekend i finally could test my HTPC (which is still not finished) connected to a homemade power amplifier (8x50 Watt) I'm glad to say that everything sounds better than expected, I never heard such crisp crystal clear sound before... I just found new motivation to continue this project (after all, I'm working on it for over two years now..) curren configuration: HTPC: custom built case with a front from Frontpanel express AMD AthlonXP 2500 512 MB Ram Sapphire 9600 w passive zalman cooler MSI Nforce2 mainboard Yesico fanless power supply (420 Watt) 80 GB Maxtor Pioneer slot load DVD M)Audio Revolution (this is the reason why it sounds so good..) Hauppauge PV-250 Matrix Orbital VFD 20x4 Powermate custom built controls connected to a USB IO interface module (not working yet.. :? ) Amplifier: a similar looking front is in the makings 4 Velleman K4004 modules some toroids and power supply modules and a LOT of wires 2 huge heatsinks (that don't even get warm to the touch when playing :lol: ) and a few pictures for your viewing pleasure the testbed (OK, it's my living room..)
