The most efficient CPU are still the VIA ones... Low power, very low heat, very low noise. There are lots of EPIA mobos (Mini-ITX for factor) with fanless CPUs around. With these, you get only one PCI slot, but everything is integrated on the motherboard. Using a good laptop-like power block (efficient and fanless), you can have a really silent setup (one slow fan for the whole system). > For processing power and cost I am looking at AMD AM2 4000 and Intel > Duel Core E2140 and Intel core2 Duo E4400.

Drop noise: * suspend the disk drive with rubber bands * carefully design the air path inside the case -- NH _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
