Dekar's new HTPC

Post by Dekar »

The black one at the right ;)

I wanted to build a low budget (200€) powersaving HTPC for video recording. It's a Atom dual-core with 1,6ghz paired with 4gb ram and a Nvidia ION GPU and a 750gb HDD. The performance is really nice, it can easily record 4 channels at the same time and automatically remove ads. Using the ION it even decodes full HD 1080p h264 movies with around 60fps. Unfortunately the mainboard died after running for like 5 days so I will have to return it and wait for replacement.

ROFL, my first Xbox Lit on fire... Warranty was Void cause the Sticker Burned ROFL, my Second Xbox Got Red Ring Of Death and was to lazy to send it in to get it fixed so i sold it for an Ipod ROFL... (got iPod stolen 3 days later :p) My 3rd Xbox Died last year, sent it to Microsoft and they sent me a new broken one, Sold it and got a new Xbox 360 Elite and haven't had a single problem with it Warrant expired already.

I currently have my 5th Xbox 360 Elite, PS3, My 2th PS2, Wii, My laptop, A 40 Inch Flatscreen :p and a Sony Surround Sound System hooked up to everything :p And a 200$ Wireless Gaming Router :)
Oh almost forgot my Ipod Touch :)

Lol nice. I am currently on my soon to be 4th xbox which will be a elite. First one died 3 days after i got it and was playing Gears of war when it just came out (Graphics card died) Second one the hard drive was loading slower and slower until no game could be read and the graphics card went out.

3rd xbox died because of the graphics card and when lightly shaken (not with hard drive in obviously) you hear a piece of it moving around. All 3 times the light was given and what you know it took just over 1 month to get back 1 of them. And i so do love your setup Black-hole thats my dream setup.

My bro has a Wii fun, but theres just something about the 360 and all the games with weapons to blow stuff up in hd :p
