How would you add PVR to a box such as the Jetway thou? as it has no tuner card?

Yep I'm still keen on a Live setup... I've run it before on a HTPC I bought last year but sold as it was just a bit to big... hence being keen on the Jetway.... it also has the highest WAF.

Except streaming media? lost me a bit there.... I stream everything from a server to my Xbox now.... Confused

Get a USB tuner eventually.

Sorry, in that I meant third party streaming media like Netflix or Hulu.

Soooo has anyone ordered one of these Jetways?

I'm kinda tempted to take the plunge... Is the 2nd generation ION actually any good?

Also is the only way to output sound on this via HDMI?? I usually like to go straight to the amp...

Just ordered one! Big Grin will the Xbox finally be moved to the bedroom? we'll see...

Ordered 4Gb of 800Mhz memory too... just try to decide now on 64Gb Kingston SSD or blisteringly quick Corsair F40 40Gb SSD.... hmmmm Confused

don't spend too much on the corsair... it has an amazingly fast write speed but that is irrelevant for HTPC usage. the kingston you mention is not a really good drive and discontinued. either get their 30GB drive which makes sense when you unscrew it as the circuitry is really tiny and will improve airflow, or get the excellent intel 40GB.

Bought the F40... it was only £90.. same as the kingston which as you say everyone says isnt that good.... I'll be installing Windows7 as well so will have fast boot up... oh well...

Pics Please!!!!!

Its here!! - I've taken a few pics I'll post later... with 4Gb of fast RAM and the blisteringly quick SSD windows 7 literary threw itself on in minutes...

Does anyone know how the SSD should be run? ie. IDE or AHCI?

Also how do you enable TRIM?

- poofyhairguy - 2010-08-17 20:17

AHCI!!!!!

Trim is on by default.

With RAM & SSD in..

Without to much tinkering got what I think are some pretty reasonable windows figures... I know these dont reflect real world but pretty good for a nettop!

That was 32bit Win7 - I'm just trying 64 bit now... Wink
