Thought I'd give a quick update. :D The project is not dead, I've been busy with other things like moving and getting a new job. I have decided to take the project to phase two before finishing it. I just ordered new hardware to get one step closer to be able to watch DVB-T and playback Blu-ray and...

I wouldn't change the case that's a very nice case. The main thing I don't like about it is it's on the bigger side and has alot of fans. I suggest you find out what's making the most noise? and just because there is a bunch of spots for fans doesn't mean you have to use them all. I also think your ...

And it comes in PIANO BLACK! So damn sexy! It even won an award for it's sexiness. It's a pretty nice laptop it looks pret...

as long as the system you buy is vista compatible it shouldn't be a problem my fist choice on notebooks atm Apple Macbook Pro - it's quiet, fast, good gpu, 1in thick, has style, built in camera, backlight keys, can run windows/linux/osx, 15.4/17 widescreen display. just upgrade the ram to 2GB either...

Well, it won't be silent with your vidcard or HDD choices. The three Nexus fans will also have to be undervolted (to <8V) if you want anything close to inaudible. FYI, the x1950xtx is not silent either, but it is much quieter than the 1900. The cuda 10s are unacceptably noisy, to me; WDs are much b...
