Anyone know if an of the HDTV cards are cool enough to run in a case like this?


Anyone know of any PIII based Micro-ATX motherboards or is this a VIA only standard?

The only mini-ITX boards that I have seen were all via eden based. Check out those memory scores... 533MHz cpu performing slowering than the 1st generation cacheless celeron on 66MHz bus. I'm skeptical that that solution would be sufficient for even dvd-playback without the assistance of a dvd-decoder card.

I wouldn't trust it. We tried a bunch of these:

And had overheating problems with most boards we have.

Check http://www.caseoutlet.com/NWPc/2677/itx2677.html out. Along with a 800Mhz Cyrix MB, they also have a Tualatin compatible motherboard.

The same case is sold here with MOBO that says it takes a 370 up to 1 GHz

Well it is almost there. If it had integrated ATI graphics I would say this would be the board.


Add a 150W 1U power supply, a right angle PCI adapter, HDTV card of choice and a 1U aluminum case. Machine a front cover, with cutouts for DVD and VFD and power, rig an on off button, add a VFD, a keyspan remote and the USB volume knob in the case, strip down an XP embedded OS and write the software to connect the knob, the VFD and all the functions. Voila.


So simple (grin)

kkrul,
Here's another case which looks like it already has the slot you're talking about. Not much more information though and it looks like this company doesn't have any U.S. presence.


One thing with these cases is that they only accept a thin DVD-ROM. These are the ones that have special connectors but I have seen a IDE converter for them.
