I have always been interested in low power, small and portable machines. I have been keeping my eye on the eee pc craze. I still feel with its new 10" screen its more of a play toy/ learning tool than a road workhorse. If I were you MikeC, I would just get a business UMPC. I have a Dell Latitude X1 ...

Singing and Ringing fanless PSU

So loud that I can hear it 4-5M away from it. So what happens is when I turn it off it gets louder then when it is on! (this is a ...

Just checked the system logs, it seems to be the driver for the sata card dying O:. (and the HDD connected to the card fails) What's going on here, both the Sata cards are the same brand and model.

2.5" Head Parking Click.
I have the 2.5" Seagate Momentus 5300.3 SATA drive. Its inaudiable in idle mode. Seek is relatively soft. But the head parking click is very distinct. I know this feature is used in 2.5" to save power and make the drive more resilent to shocks and bumps. This is used in my HTPC so the head parking f...

I'm using the stock PSU, its actually quite quiet for a flexATX psu with a 60mm fan. That's gotta go. It ...

I have not finished deciding on some parts of the HTPC so I haven't bought anything yet. (I will buy them all at the same time) I did not know what tuner to buy or remote, as this is very much OS dependant. I wanted to find the OS I wanted first and then buy components to suit. To prevent headaches ...
