OK, I must be doing something really stupid or I simply don't know what ppd stands for. How can you get 6360 points-per-day out of an Atom? I'm getting ~1900 ppd from my Opteron 1216 and you've got me wondering if I can't somehow bump that up. ET How about with a GTS 250 :wink: : Another micro-atx ...

I would love to go Intel but the limited A/V receiver support has me going the AMD route. Sorry? Are you referring to the repeater bug? That's been fixed. Also, it was never an issue for those using AnyDVD-HD. ET I'm not planning on ripping BD movies on a 32GB SSD and the last I read on this Anandt...

Asus P5Q-EM + E7200 Dear Erikt, Is your system hot? How about the power consumption, is it high? I run no intake fans, and my only exhaust fan is the PSU fan. So far, I've encountered no instabilities. I haven't checked the temperatures since I first built this machine, but they were reasonable, at...

My understanding is that 5.1 DD and DTS works fine over S/PDIF output on the 780G boards, though. So the real issue is not no surround sound, just no surround sound over HDMI. Not quite true. As I originally said, many BR discs only provide a TrueHD or DD+ soundtrack. The fall-back position is a 2....

From what I've read, 780G doesn't support HD audio over HDMI (it's basically S/PDIF over HDMI), so if you want to play BR over HDMI, I'd avoid that chipset. Yes, I know that many people claim there's no audible difference between DD/DTS and DD+/TrueHD, but many BR disks don't make it easy or even p...

This was my first thought, as I have all the required parts to build this machine at home, other than an extra copy of XP. I was hoping to avoid having another machine to maintain, however. I do suppose that this method is by far the least expensive for me, as I already have everything needed, and ...

I've used the Super-Versatile and the new 300W Seasonic which can be found from Power-On . I can heartily recommend either of these. I had both of them powering a P4 3.0G Northwood system with a 6600GT video card, AV-710 sound card, PVR-250, DVD-ROM, a single 7200rpm HDD, and a VFD. Never experience...

From Arctic Cooling's web site: The NV Silencer 5 is basically compatible to the NVIDIA 7800 series boards except the power plug. You can take the power from the VGA board with connecting the black and red wire or you get the power from the PSU directly. Best is you buy a Y-cable for the 5.25" power...

Here's another idea, build a cheap server machine and put all of your HDDs in there. Then put a 2.5" notebook drive in your HTPC. Hook the two up over a network, get the HTPC to automatically wake/suspend the server, and life's good and silent! I bet you could build a server for less than the price ...

Hi all, I've been waiting for this for a while now. Power-On is now carrying the Seasonic SS-300SFD PSU. This should be the 300W mATX (SFX?) power supply that received the 80 Plus certification (80% efficiency across entire operating range). As far as I can tell, they ship internationally. I've neve...

have no trouble providing what your system needs. As I mentioned, I'm

no stability issues.

I've got the A-Tech 5000, but the 4000 is quite similar. The 4000 should be really easy to keep quiet. With the 5000, I had to mod the PSU and lay the HDD on some foam. The A100BB can be kept fairly cool and quiet using a decent 80mm intake fan (Papst or Panaflow), and two undervolted 60mm exhaust f...

Here are a couple I've tried: A-Tech Cases Athenatech A100BB Both are less than 15" deep. I love my A-Tech 5000, but it only takes a 2U PSU. The 4000 fits a regular ATX PSU.
