Small HTPC with HDMI - some questions.

Exentia · 14 Apr 2009 at 16:41

HI all,

Ill keep it brief, ive got an old core 2 duo 2.2ghz (sure its 775) of some kind lying around the house with some ddr2 and hard drives and whatnot. Need to stream from main pc up to this one so wifi is a must but so is HDMI, anybody got any good mobo and case solutions that would work well. A white case would be an awesome bonus! (white tv and whatnot upstairs)

cant seem to find "the one"

cheers guys!

theres total-games build in there and mine at post 49ish.

Awesome board. My e6300 plays transformers, my most demanding hd-dvd/blu-ray wtihout any stuttering at all.

cool nice one guys, whats this pci-e slot tech this board has then?

"The mini-ITX board also features NVIDIA Hybrid SLI technology for GeForceBoost compatibility with select GeForce 8 and 9 series graphics cards."

does this just mean what it says on the tin, it can "kind of" SLI the onboard processor with another card in the pci slot?

Sounds good either way, now to find a nice white case for it.

Yes your right, like some of the AMD boards can do Hybrid X-Fire.

Its PCI-E x16 version 2.0, andyes you can sli the ionabord with selected cards but asfar as i know its only a small selection.
