Hi there, I am researching how to built a mini itx machine for art project that I can bring on the road.
My main needs are for the graphic card to be on board - and I have an extra juli@ card for my audio need. I've looked at machine like that : http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=52 that boast a GeForce 9300 gpu - that seems to be quite good at graphic - but nvidia and ubuntu seems to be not too easy to get going. Of course what is most important is the opengl part and 3d acceleration. If I need to compile some driver I have no problem with that - as long as it would work. The device is set to be used in audio video installation - connecting directly on the video projector and receiving both audio and wireless network (for osc) Any of you have experience with Nvidia graphic card ? what would be the best bet for video card (to keep the install simple but also to have the most bang for the buck) and is going for a mini-itx just shooting myself in the foot as far as getting the best hardware ? Is there any portable (not macbook or laptop) box out there that would do the trick better than building mini itx based machine ? Anyway not in any rush - I will be building that box in the next few months - but wanted to check in with the community if there is anyone who has experienced with the hardware building around puredyne system. I am now running a mini itx board with intel chipset and it's going ok for day to day stuff (running pure dyne) but I am reaching it's 3d limit on some processing project andI wish hardware wasn't my bottle neck now ! thanks for sharing !
