Re: Intel i3-4330T HTPC
Yes the haswell nucs have my eye as well. Has anyone read anything which suggests intel will be releasing low profile mini-itx boards socket 1150. I am also looking for a very low power htpc/server or a very low powered server + htpc nuc - either option is good.

Re: E3 Xeon Motherboard
Wow wow and wow. The DQ77KB and E3-1220LV2 without a video card... one more WOW. That's so exciting. Have you performed any watt readings, I'd so much like to know how this combination idles. I was thinking of either about pairing with the E3-1265L v2 (45W with gpu). But if the E3-1220LV2 works and ...

Re: E3 Xeon Motherboard
Thank you ever so much Zolishoru - excellent feedback, appreciated. I am going to have to have a slight rethink - I'll also look at the possibility of using a desktop board for a home server build (DQ77KB for example) - but I know there will be no ECC, no fast PCI exp, and as you mentioned i will ne...

E3 Xeon Motherboard
My current linux home server is built around an atom board - I've reach the limit with this. I am thinking seriously about an upgrade to using a E3-1220L with ECC. The only server minit itx motherboard I can find that I might be able to buy in the UK is the Intel S1200KPR Mini ITX. I would prefered ...

CULV Processors can you buy them?
Hi all, I've been reading about intel's low powered culv dual processors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Ultra-Low_Voltage Does anyone know if you can buy them? Or are they only available to system integrators? Seem like an excellent choice for a low powered solution, better than the atom! if...

Several thoughts: Mini ITX does fit into a Micro ATX case (I am unsure about full ATX case for MiniItx). You will not have problems with the PSU it will work. If you read about the psu forums you'll see that most people upgrade to pico. This will improve efficiency and reduce the watts, but add £80...

Hi Micah, & all... I am looking at the same requirement, aMythBackend/Frontend/Nas server (all in one). I have come to conclusion that I will upgrade my m/b & cpu. My current thoughts are an ION2 (VDPAU integrated) when they become available, or a clarksdale without VDPAU, but with integrated graphi...

Thank you for the feed back SebRad. I have glanced at the XFX Nforce 9300, but it does NOT have HDCP. I need at least a 9300 to use VDPAU under linux, which is why I am scratching my head. The only option I can think of is either a G31+GT220 (as you said), or the Zotac GeForce 9300-itx. Availabilty ...

Recommend 775 low watt motherboard
Hi all, could any one recommend a low powered 775 motherboard to use with a GT220 for an audio/video server build (not atom)?
With the lack of nvidia IGP m/b availability, I was thinking of using a m/board with the 220 (7W idle) but was I didn't know how to source a reasonably low powered m/b?

POV 330 Ion use as a server (+mythtv)
Hi, Does anyone have any experience of the performance of an ION 330, I have been thinking of using the POV 330 for a combined mythtv/file server/gateway always on box. Without buying and trying, I am scratching my head to work out if such a configuration would be per formant on the POV. Or If I sho...

Not sure if it's comparing apples with apples, but this chap Adam has built and documented his dual core atom build (mini itx, MSI IM-945GC though not available anywhere in the UK). Like you (and alot of us) he is after a low power always on server. The reason I posted is because he has kindly publi...

Matt, what can I say but thank you for your response. You have gone the extra mile to replying to every detail of my last post. The Commell board does look great for a server/nas/gateway/serial controller/music player device. But (always is a darn but) it is v. expensive. I have just done some due d...

Matt, thank you. You are an oracle of knowledge... If you can wait a few days, I can answer that question exactly. I have a 5050e on the way. I also have a PCIe Intel Gigabit NIC that I can also add to the mix for a power reading. This information would be amazing. Yes please and thank you. The newe...
