Whilst I agree that the HTPC and workstation should be split, and that the HTPC should be nice and quiet, I don't agree with the Fit-PC. It has no CPU power, no digital audio out and no expandability. How could it possibly work as a HTPC? I tried to pick a motherboard with onboard digital-out for my HTPC, but failed and ended up putting a Chaintec AV-710 sound card in it. It's an Intel Core2 Duo E6850, 2 GB DDR2, ASUS P5K-E-Wifi in a Silverstone LC16M case, so sounds similar to what you're looking at. Plays 1080p x264 video out through my HT perfectly. :) Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
