Tada! Finally the case arrived! It's a pity the cables of the psu are so long but what the hell.

>>18502 It can be a pain to get it to work as you want. But to be fair most HTPC software is like that.
>>18501 I use my HTPC for TV (satellite and terrestrial), Music, Films & DVDs as well as a web server, database server, FTP server, Weather station, energy monitor and probably other things I can't remember right now :D

I only use my htpc for movies, all the other stuff like surfing, downloading, looking at pix I do on my gaming pc and music I play on my ipod. So 2010 I know ;) At least for now.

>>18495 That'll be CoreAVC making the differnce, not all codecs can make full use of the GPU. VLC is a great all round player, but MPC is probably better for HD. You might like to look at all in one HTPC software like MediaPortal. I use MP with mostly success, but it can have some issues.

I noticed that VLC player eats a lot of the cpu resources when I played a 1080i movie. So now I use MPC-HC with coreAVC. And BAM! it works like a charm!
