As the title says I'm looking at building an m-itx system at some point this year to use as a general entertainment system ie Htpc use and light gaming. Liking the idea of using a VESA mountable case as I move about a lot and also like keeping cables to a minimum.
The Jou Jye NU-526i looks ideal for my needs as I can use an SSD for programs and still have a media storage drive and an optical, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this case as I'm worried about high temperatures in a small case.
Talking about temperatures I've heard the present M-itx boards have had a lot of issues with overheating VPMs, just wondering if anyones heard any progress on the Zotac board, seen short reviews of it in December but heard nowt since. Just wondering if my google-fu skills are failing me and someones started selling them, as the built in Wifi would be a huge help.
Finally any recommendations on a low profile TV card? Again I've heard some of them can run hot so if there are any that have a slightly better reputation (and ideally a dual tuner) I'd be grareful to know.
Thanks
