[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 842092, member: 75318"] Hi MPM, I have two clients (bedroom & kitchen) that run from the HTPC in my lounge. They are both Zotac Zbox ID41'S. They output at full HD via HDMI and have SSD's fitted within. The audio is via HDMI, however there is an optical out. I am really impressed with them. I have no problems with playback and they are very fast too - that is due to the SSD. There is a cooling fan on them but I only hear at boot up. Powerscheduler ++ works really well with them too - and also MySleepControl on the bedroom unit is a joy! I have mounted them behind the TV using their own mounting bracket and each is operated by a MS MCE remote. The only downside I have is possibly due to my network - I use EOP @ 100mbps - although I am looking to install a gigabit network that should speed up network access. I may get another unit for my lounge, and then relocate the current HTPC to my basement to act as a dedicated file/TV server. The GF uses them without problem too. HTH, M [/QUOTE]
