Good miniATX solution?

RichBa5tard · 12th November 2003, 21:11

I was thinking about replacing my TV/DVD/Music/surfing PC (which is now a beast actually, 3.4ghz intel) with a noiseless miniatx solution.

Do you guys this is worth it's money, or are there better solutions?

Case:

Light, great looking, comes with 180W PSU.
137 euro

Motherboard (attach)
EPIA-M10000:
1Ghz C3
1* ddr266
2* ata133
integrated vga, 6 channel audio, lan, etc

Only thing missing (in my humble opinion) is sata. More than fast enough for divx, just enough for office use.
166 euro

= ~300 euro

Are there better looking / performing / more silent barebones for 300? It must be inaudible.

C3?
Does it perform enough for DivX?

(didn't think so)

yeah, it does. (if it wouldn't, they probably would less boards then there are fingers on my hand)

The M-10000 is pretty good actually.

High quality divx playback:

Koensa offers me a shuttle + 2500+ for my p4c setup, Far more powerfull, but shuttles aren't quiet. :/

watercool it

no seriously, actually ... it is possible, and judging on your posts it doesn't have to be portable as much as silent

Silent cooling on xp2500+ is possible (slk900 + low rpm papst), but the PSU is hard to get quiet. :/

way to much overkill, but that SAF520 i reviewed was silent ... and i mean silent

pop an 40 mm papst fan and it's quiete enough

or buy a fanadapter 40mm=>60mm of Yeti, but i don't know wheter he has sold all the 24, and put the 60mm fan on 7V

holy crap 24 ones

edit: i'm gonna start a watercooling project for my shuttle very soon

, but it's hard to get hold on a efficient small pump that's leak-free
