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??
* mobo : compact + fanless = VIA (new EX is really well suited for a VDR; someone already talked about this one on the list) * case : Antec Fusion / NSK2400 (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article698-page2.html), the bare case is available anywhere at ~90€ (http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00038035.html) * a really silent power supply is laptop-like : PicoPSU (http://www.thinkitx.com/alimentations-80-10-c.html) + AC-DC block. * a single slow silent fan can cool all that
(~60W peak power from the wall on my VDR : VIA C3 1GHz + HDD + running DVD + hardware MPEG2 decoding + 1 DVB-S PCI + 1 DVB-T USB) (48VA full load on my home server, with 2 x HDD, EPIA EK-8000)
