I hadnt figured out that i already had an adaptor

After taking the bracket off, it looks more like a slimline atapi connector

Without your help i would propably have bought an adaptor and returned it because i didn't fit......doooooh

Thanks to both of you

Hi I have a slimeline DVD drive. I want to use it in my HTPC but i need an adaptor to convert the "laptop conector" to standard IDE. Whats the name for this "laptop connector"?? The drive is form a Thinkpad X20 dockingstation. Heres a picture [img=http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/8112/dvdfr7.th.jp...

The Northbirgde cooler does get very hot without airflow.

I use a 120mm (5volt) case fan wich keep the chipset 30 degress or something.

Hi

Yeasterday I bought an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI and i'm satisfied
It undervolts from bios, my cpu is running 1.0 vcore.

It's 690G though,l but it is supposed to perform better an consume less than 6150.

And i would like a bigger display

What is "the HFX"

I guess SFX is small form factor
HFX = high form factor???

I am considering the Fusion...but i could be nice with a DIY case.

I have decided to buy this: Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 1.9 GHz ASUS M2A-VM HDMI Kingston ValueRAM 2 x 1 GB I have one 100gb maxtor HD Tv-tuner: dunno! I'll measure the power consumption before deciding on a PSU. I'm making a custom built HTPC case, i'll keep you posted on the progress:) OT: Do any of you gu...

I think it's a little bit too expensive. I'm from Denmark and it's more like 180$ here

lucky bastards...

Thanks for the advice

I guess i'll go for a 690G based system.


is AMD X2 3600+ Brisbane the best performance/power option?? if undervoltet/clocked?

How do i recognise the brisbane core from the other ones?

thanks. forgot to mention that i'm using a pico-120 psu and micro-atx or smaller. I would like to use integrated graphics to keep size and price down. Is it possible with a good result?? are 690G mb better than GeForce 6100 ? AMD X2 3600+ Brisbane seems interesting, does it undervolt well? How about...

Hi I'm building a HTPC for DVD/DIVX/MP3 (HD-DVD maybe) I can't decide on a cpu and motherboard any suggestions? passively cooled if possible and hopefully enough "power" for 1080pp (if possible with integrated graphics). INTEL or AMD dosen't matter, but i'm temptet by AMD's pricing :D I'm on a rathe...
