# Video type: HDTV # Type of system: front-end # Noise level: If it were not for the blue power light, I would not know it was on -- my TV makes more ambient noise. # CASE: Mini-Box.com M350 plus extra a second HDD bracket and a Scythe SY124010L Mini-Kazi 40mm fan # PSU: Zotac's 90W brick # MOTHERBOARD: Zotac IONITX-C (Single Core Atom, No wifi) # CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz # RAM: 1GB DDR2 800 (Kingston 2 x 512MB) # CPU HEATSINK: Stock # NORTHBRIDGE HEATSINK: Stock # CD/DVD-RW: none # HDD: 80GB Western Digital WD800BEVT-22ZCT0 # GRAPHICS CARD: nVidia Corporation ION VGA (rev b1) # SOUNDCARD: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1) / S/PDIF out to receiver. ALSA:spdif in settings. # REMOTE CONTROL: Streamzap Installed R6.01 with the usbstick image in 9 minutes flat (stopwatch). I then took about 90 minutes to tweak things to my liking (settings, themes, config files, packages) but that was at my option. Power consumption as measured with Kill-A-Watt: 20W @ idle 23W 1080p full bitrate blu-ray rip muxed into an mkv container. 26W 1080i OTA HDTV (KNBC Los Angeles) - Advanced 1x deinterlacer [EDIT] After using the system for a few days, I noticed the GPU runs a bit hot. According to Code: $ nvidia-setttings -q GPUCoreTemp 2>/dev/null it's running at about 75C idle and around 80C after 30 minutes of 1080p blu-ray rip (full bitrate, not transcoded). I'm going to try out a 40mm "quiet" fan and see A) if it helps the temp and B) it's quiet enough. [/EDIT]
[EDIT 2] I have now purchased a second HDD bracket for the M350 along with a Scythe SY124010L Mini-Kazi 40mm fan and it has a dramatic cooling effect plus it is still inaudible from my couch. GPU Temp is now 52-55C playing 1080p. Note that the Scythe does not come with any mounting screws so you'll need your own. [/EDIT 2] |
