Hehe, I've got a quad core ITX box. It's pretty tiny. Primary HDD is the OCZ Vertex 32 GB SSD which doesn't have the pausing problems the Core series did. Secondary 2.5 HDD is 120GB samsung. It's got a slim DVD burner running off the single IDE channel. I have a dual PCIe TV tuner with riser. The power supply that came with it was only 150W, so I found a small mATX power supply that fits in the small case and cut a small hole in the side of the case for the power plug. It's based off a zotac mini-itx mobo. I use a usb2 gigabit adapter since the onboard is only 10/100. It cold boots into XP in under 15 seconds. The onboard video isn't great but isn't bad either- 7000 series G-Force with purevideo support and HDMI dongle.
I'm now running Xp x64 because the windows 7 beta wouldn't run some of my necessary work appz. lopaka --- On Fri, 4/10/09, maccrawj <[email protected]> wrote: From: maccrawj <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [H] SATA port multipliers?
