Kevin, I've implemented a Freevo system on a shuttle SN41G2. Main issues:
1. Getting a TV-in card to fit in the PCI slot. I've got an old generic card that fitted, but I could imagine that others wouldn't. 2. Going through the process of installing the nVidia drivers. More complex than a common-or-garden install. 3. Fiddling around/upgrades- there's not much space in there. You generally have to take practically everything out to change anything. 4. NOISE: The SN41G2 features heat-pipe cooling, I've put in a low noise CPU fan, but I still find the thing too noisy to leave on in the living room all day. I'm now investigating options for the PSU and GPU fans.... I like the box, and the construction quality is very good. PC beige bezel on my DVD drive looks a bit out of place, and I haven't found a solution for that yet. Configuration: Mandrake 9.1 AMB Athlon Seagate Barracude 120GB Sony DVD Streamzap IR remote control Generic Bt848 TV-in card Regards, Paul On Tue, 2003-07-01 at 16:28, Kevin Barsby wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone tried putting a Freevo system together using one of the > Shuttle XPC series PCs (http://us.shuttle.com/product_mini.asp)? > > They generally have everything on board bar the TV card, leaving you to > choose the CPU/Mem/Disk/DVD. > > I was looking in particular at the SK41G... > > Cheers > Kev > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
