Default HTPC Upgrade!

Check it out

~ Phenom II 545
~ ASUS M4A785-M 785G Motherboard
~ 8GB DDR2-800
~ Radeon HD 4650 1GB
~ Xonar D1
~ Hauppauge HD PVR
~ 320GB Scorpio Black
~ Blu Ray / HDDVD Drive

68W idle (with HDD on) is awesome, and I haven't even undervolted the CPU yet . And the Scorpio is so much quieter than the Caviar Green I had in here before (and faster too ).

The PSU is a bit too big for this system too, it's 300W so that puts the idle power consumption at less than 25%. Oh well, at least there's headroom if the extra CPU cores unlock.







-- Made the bluetooth receiver for the DiNovo Edge internal. No more stupid dongle hanging out the front!

Very nice, love the blue tooth. Great for keyboard and mouse, and you can link you phone, ipod, zen, and what ever else. Cool. What software are you running for bluray and OS.

Windows 7 - I tried a ton of other software, but I love the TV movie guide Windows has and nothing else that I've seen comes close.

Then the rest of the software is PowerDVD9, CCCP, GameEX and a bunch of emulators, Pinnacle Game Profiler, DVBLink (to get the PVR to work), and a couple of games that can be played with a controller (like Fallout 3).

How does Power DVD9 do with W7. I have had a couple of issues with it in Vista 64, and with watching tv in the media center. Like watching tv in an earthquake. Just had to use the Win viewer from Hauppauge.

Great. Cant wait to get W7 on here.

I guess it does fine because I don't have any problems whatsoever.

Looks familiar.

How much did you pay for the case?
