[QUOTE="dm15644, post: 634875"] [b]AW: tv server only:mobo/OS that sleeps properly[/b] I'm using a 3 year old system as a server, runs fine: Asus M2A-VM Athlon 3800+ TV MSI TV@everywhere E-Duo DVB-T PCI Since I'm using the machine also to store and backup all kind of data, I'm running MS WHS. It's not officially supported by MP, but there's a lot of threads in the forum to make it work and it's rather easy. You can download an evaluation copy from MS and see if it works for you. There's an add-in called LightsOut which will do the standby job for you. Previously I had XP, Vista and Windows 7 on the TV sever. My experience is that Windows 7 worked best with respect to standby. XP was also ok and the fastest boot. Vista didn't have any particular advantages. Previously I also had a Happauge Nova-T 500 TV card. Lots of standby issues in XP and also Vista, ok in Windows 7. I got rid of the card in the end and replaced it with the a.m. MSI. Serveral people in AVS forum say that PCI does not work properly with S3, so I'd recommend to look for PCI-E TV cards. For me at least it worked when I got the MSI TV card instead of the Happauge. Oh, fyi my system idles at ~55W. I'm running Cool&Quiet, that's all for power saving. Cheers, jayrock [/QUOTE]
