Scary Larry... is this a single account computer (i.e. no login screens)? If it is try creating a new account, with admin priveledges and see what your desktop does then. If this is a quota problem it may be that someone's been messing with the security on your drives. Since this is...

This is a bit of a tangent... but I do value the overclocking information often seen in reviews and comments about specific chips and boards... but not for the reasons you may expect. In many of my installations I actually *underclock* the CPU a little and run the memory one step below...

Impressive. Although even with ultra low power components, I do wonder about heat dissipation... I'm guessing the whole thing runs toasty warm, as is common for anything that small... Still with HD playback, headless operation, popular OSs... the VSFF (Very Small Form Factor) market has come a...

It's 440 x 150 x 325mm (17.5 x 5.9 x 12.7) that is, the same size as my current micro-ATX tower turned on it's side. While it is an attractive mATX case --clean, simple lines, easily accessible, thermaltake quality-- it's a long way from being small. It also might pose a fit problem for most...

You may have to exercise forgiveness for this comment, but... I'm having one of those "What the hell were they thinking????" moments. In a world where people are seeking ways of integrating computers into their more or less conventional living rooms and dens, this thing can only be...

First step... what's up with your current cooling that it gets that hot? Are the chips and sincks mating properly? Are you using a good quality heat sink grease? Are the fans clean and running? Is anything defeating ariflow in your case? Are your power supply voltages within tolerance...

Actually I was referring to the actual DVD players you stick in your home theatre setup. These tend to run on all-in-one microcontrollers; computers, yes, but not from our computing world. I don't know if you know much about microcontroller electronics or not but here's an introductory link in...

Thing is that an integrated graphics chip is simply a graphics chip. Very often the same design is used for on-board as you would find in a separate card. What's different is the memory usage. A buss card will (of needs) have it's own memory whereas the on-board one ends up sharing CPU...

Yeah, 2.2ghz, 45 watt AMD running passive cooling with a ton of connectivity... It's pretty amazing how they do it. Zotac definately has my attention. Far as I can tell the onboard video thing has mostly been a way to beef up sales, in ATX and even mATX boards where there's almost always a...

I don't know... but I'm glad I didn't have to pay it. I don't know if it was just an experiment of if was intended to be perminent... but it did work. I found this report quite interesting... http://techreport.com/articles.x/16893 I figure if I want hi-def running anywhere but a computer...

I've continued looking into this and ... well, it's mindboggling how much of it there is! Do a NewEgg search for ITX... and get ready for page after page after page.... The thing is they've been selling this stuff for quite some time as industrial product --sign controllers, point of sale...

Those guys are nuts... but it will sell a million computers.

I will confess they've just recently caught my attention too... Of course they've only been on market for a few months and have barely made any penetration in to Canada at all. 'Round here it's still "bigger is better"... even though the thing is 90% air. The NMedia case is pretty small...

I'm no fan of integrated graphics. The memory contention alone imposes a hit on CPU performance that is sometimes quite noticeable. But the thing is these are small, quiet and cheap... perhaps if there has to be a tradeoff, the onboard sound and video isn't such a bad deal, so long as it will...

Thing is that's competing with the Intel eeeBox. There's no expansion, no DVD and very limited storage (160g) capability. If you look at the links in my original message you will see machines that carry standard OD slots, one or more standard 3.5" HD slots and can support motherboard...

Please let us know how it works out for you... ! Down with cheap assed plastic speakers !... :D

Even if you can't get hooked up on glass... you can still use the analog "aux" input on the stereo as well. Not as good as optical... but still way better than most PC speakers. To give you an example... I have a friend who has a PC in one corner of his living room and a really respectable...

Over the past week I've had a number of inquiries about Mini-itx Atom based systems. Seems the "really tiny PC" thing is getting set to catch on in my area. (And aren't all thos guys with the monster cases gonna look silly if it does!) The few people who've asked me about them so far are...

Leshy ... Do you have a pretty decent home stereo setup? For less than $30.00 us you can hook up to that and you just might be surprised how well it will work. See ... High End Audio from PC Sources Also if you're thinking of spending anything over $100 ... you should include...

:rolleyes: I see my master plan is working... muuhahahahah....
