Hum... , understand. Well, I like the xbox because its small, has a good video tuner and doesn't waste power... with a normal PC and an normal psu, you might end up seeing your power bill rising... the xbox is fine with 140W max. I don't know about a normal pc... but when looking at the psu's in the various stores... 250W, 350W, 400W... ugh. What about mini-itx? Is that stuff consuming less power? And what board should I use there? > > get rid of the xbox a build a small and silent mini-itx system. if you > > have a tv-card with hardware mp2-encoder (which is highly > > recommended), an old p3 system will suffice. p3 cpus are quite > > powerfull and can be kept cool without much noise. No, I don't have a tuner card yet. I had did a little search about mini-itx... What about a VIA EPIA-M Mainboard with a good case... like morex cubid or SilverStone Lascala? The need less power.

Ah.. this clears things up. Whats the problem, why is it slow? I believe its not freevo, because its phyton - or am I wrong? cheers, Hans ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
