[QUOTE="Wrangler, post: 648369, member: 91183"] This little box sounds almost too good :) Still got a few questions before I hit the order button. First opening my scenario a bit. I would be using this in bedroom, so I need to be sure, it won't prevent my wife sleeping while I'm having fun ;) Planning to attach it behind the bedroom telly with the VESA-mount. Usually watching movies/tv together, but sometimes I just use my headphones while the "better-half" is sleeping or at least trying to :P Planning to set up something like this: Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 2Gb ram small SDD or 80Gb 5400rpm drive that happens to be lying around Win7 + MediaPortal tv-client (got a dedicated tv-server+media storage already) XBOX360 remote (backlit+possibility to control TV) Telly is Samsung 2333HD 1) WAF in this box is pretty high, but will the fan sound+other possible noise be hearable from behind the telly and some 3 metres away? Or atleast will the sound annoy one in an otherwise silent room? 2) Will it still be silent enough after a second half of a 2 hour 1080p movie watching? Does that kind of cpu+gpu load make it warmer and the fan go faster? 3) Any ideas for a good receiver to Xbox360 remote? (yep, offtopic) 4) Any other bedroom experiences would be greatly appreciated. Concerning the zotec of course... sheezz, what were you thinkin' ;) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
