My parents have came over and seen XBMC running on my tv,and of course now they want something simliar!
looking at getting a Streacom F7CB case(with the internal ir),i have a spare pico 120w psu.
Really i am looking to the most powerfull but silent build?
I am running a intel GT620T with a Zotac gt430...am i likely to get similar performance with intregated graphics? would love to use the pico etc
With thanks as always.

I've had good luck so far with the ASUS P8H77-I. However, I think you need to look at what's compatible with the Streacom case you want.

Looking at the Gigabyte SKT-1155 H61N-USB
Which would fit the case ok, With just a ssd and the board..no expnasion cards..is the 120 pico going to be ok?
With much appreciation

Hi all,
Decided to go for the ASRock Z77E-ITX! Fits in the streacom case perfect,and the pico just fits in,however i am stuck!!
Got everything in the case,press the power button,fans spin,usb mouse lights up,but no picture...this is through hdmi
Am i right in thinking,only dvi is enabled straight out the box?
With thanks

Hi Bluray,
I have checked all of those and still get the same result,looking at the eternet port lights up too! just no display with hdmi...which in my genius is the only lead i have now!
Thank you for the suggestions!

oops didnt see that another bit! tried it just on pin 1-5 (4 pin on pico,fans but no display) dug out a old power supply,boots fine! Thinking
1) the pico 120w has bit the dust
2) 120w isnt enough power!

Would a 160w pico be ok for this? i have made a huge error working out the power supply?
