I'm not familiar with Zotac but I could try it instead my usual of Asus mobos (the one that died was an Asus too). Zotac seems to be sold here Finland too. I'm planning to use the old Silverstone case and the old working silent high-effciency Enermax ATX power supply. That would rule out at least Asus ION deluxe style boards that seem to have an external PSU and just a DC connector in the mobo. I don't want to get external power boxes to living room and would feel sorry to throw away working stuff ;^) When considering other tips too it's going to be tough to decide what path to take here: budget/minimal vs. more power and possibly better visual quality etc. :^) > Fanless, low power, and OS can be installed on SSD, > usb flash stick, Microdrive, SD(HC), CF, you name it.
