Hey Guys, I currently have a Zotac Mag Mini as my HTPC & Server for Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, and Couchpotato. Everything is running smooth except that the Mag Mini is getting really hot. I have an external eSata hard drive connected to it where all of the files are downloaded, stored, and played from. I also have a Boxee Box (no bueno, scrubbing is extremely slow and in accurate, and they push paid tv shows on you even after you have deleted all the tv show files).
I have a feeling this Zotac is going to die on me. I have read the eskro's guides but I just dont like the case. I dont believe they are quite enough for me.
Basically what i'm looking for is an extremely quite setup. My wife is cooco and I swear has the most sensitive hearing. So in order to please here I need your advice.
Quite case, Fancy looking, Blu Ray player, HDMI out, 1080, will use XBMC Live, 2 TB storage, It will server other HTPCs, I want to add a TV tuner card so I can cancel my damn cable and record 2 or 4 shows at a time. Most important I wanted it powerful and very very very very x 2 quite. What do you recommened?
Hope this makes sense, I had a few glasses of Cognac. Lol
