Anyone running XBMC for Linux on Zotac's new GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi mini-itx motherboard? How well does it perform?
gui Wrote:i just ordered one,including a E5200 cpu and 2gb memory.
my only indecision is the case.
cannot decide what case will be best to accommodate a cpu cooler that would make it as silent as possible.
any suggestions will be great
ps: needs to take full size blu-ray drive.
gui Wrote:any pro or con in using a slim drive than a full size(the slims seems to be more £)?i get to understand the the slimsize are the laptop one right?

I've not tested the Aeon skin yet but with PMIII on a minimum linux installation I'm getting 10% CPU usage with 7 dropped frames on the killer sample. This is with a E1400 Celeron and 4GB Ram(2 should suffice).
The only thing that I came across is the power supply, this motherboard requires 90W. I've also not managed to get the wifi working yet...but to be honest I've not really looked into it that much. Maybe someone else here can help you(us) with that !!!
Have fun,
