I've been running a Shuttle SK43G with 2.2Ghz AMD, silentPC fan, silent 250W psu and replaced all the mobo fans with heatsinks for 3 years. time to replace. The fan is still quiet, but now the case vibrates a little, and the whole thing runs about 61 degrees - which isn't ideal. I'd like to go fanless and cool. What I like about the shuttle is it's size. The 1x PCI is fine, as is the VIA unichrome VGA & s-video out. Any ideas on a small compact fanless (DEAD quiet) case & motherboard?? ----- Original Message ----- From: <jori.hamalainen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 9:21 PM Subject: Re: Mid range CPU choice > >HDMI >>VGA >>RGB >>S-Video >>is the order.
