Sounds like a solid design :) I'm liking that case, maybe I'll upgrade mine if I can fit the new case. The height of my old one is a bit smaller and just fits I think.Quote:

Well thanks. :)Quote:

Setting the HTPC to 5.1 channel out, I get full 5.1 channel sound from my AC3 audio streams, whereas with my old setup I got expanded stereo with no sub channel.
I'm now discovering that a lot of shows have a much more pounding base line than I originally gave them credit for. lol
These are the ones I really want in the near/mid term:

The Epic 80 - 500 7.1 channel Home Theater System from Axiom Audio
My real dream is some Klipsch (always been a fan since they brought out their Promedia series for computer), but those are nearly 3x as expensive as the Axiom's.
if your cpu gets warm i can send you my conroe. such a waste of a slacr in that system.
It get's warm, but not hot. Stock speeds since it's an HTPC, and it runs in the mid-high 40's, sometimes low 50's. I've never heard the CPU fan ramp up.Quote:
