Need help for the right mini ITX Board
#1
Hello all together,

I wanted to build me a PVR system on xbmcbuntu basic.

I have already ordered the components but I have a problem, whereby someone off you could me maybe help.

I have used the D2700DC Intel board and it doesn’t worked, I have already found out that the reason is the GMA 3650 GPU.

I far I have find it out there is no 100% (HD for example) solution for this board with Linux so I decided to order a other board. The problem is I don’t know which one.

I need a board with the following specifications:

Fast enough for HD TV/Streaming
Full passive cooling
mini ITX Format
a PCI Port (I have a PCI TV Card that I want to use with a riser card)

Does anyone has a tip for me for a fitting Board, I would be very nice.

Thank a lot for the help.

Hello,

I have looked a view for an alternative board but I didnt found one.

So my plan B would be the Asus AT3N7A-I, it fits my requirements exept of the fanless.

As far that I found out it would be supported by Linux, does someone know if this will be a good board for an DVR ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

It's possible to use that board (D2700DC) with a PCI GT 610.

Hi,

The problem with this would be that I only have one PCI Bus and that one I need for the TV card.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I think I will go now a complete other way and change the TV card and use a PCIe Board.

I have 2 Board where I not sure which one I should take:

1. Asus AT3IONT-I Deluxe, 2. ZOTAC IONITX S

the pro for the Asus is it that I compared this site: http://doityourselfhtpc.wordpress.com/20...xe-review/ with this: http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/mainb...ia-ion/12/ (sorry it is only in German) and the temperature difference of the top values are nearly 40 degree Celcius, what is a lot especial by a passiv cooled system or ?

The pro for the Zotac is that it had a little bit more calculation power (200 Mhz per core) but i this realy relevant ? The GPU seems to be the same on both boards and the other seems more or less equivalent.

Can someone gives mit a hint which one I should choose ?

Thanks a lot.
