Probably power supply or motherboard but it makes too much noise anyway. ;) How easy was it to get your Epia M1000 going with hardware MPEG decoding? Is it as simple as: boot, start vdr with xine plugins, start X sending out the S-video connector, start xine fullscreen? How well does it cope with the OSD? I've tried the xine plugin on an athlon 1000 and it seriously crawls when the OSD is displayed. Any idea if any of the newer Epia boards would fare better? Although, having had a quick look, the newer ones don't have parallel ports so where would I attach my status LEDs? ;) Has anyone tried running two DVB cards on one of these things with a two-way PCI riser card? All I need to do is think up a cunning idea for what to house the thing in!! Cheers, Laz
