The machine is plenty snappy too. I'm running Diamond and posters on "The Wall" view fly by much faster/smoother than my HD200. I was about 2 weeks too late on ordering the four HD300s I was planning on getting for my new house, so I can't compare the speed to a HD300. Last edited by Boolah; 08-27-2011 at 12:03 PM. |

- APEX DM-387 (I settled on this case, it was cheap and small enough for the MB. If/when more mini-itx cases with 200W PS become available I'll look into getting something sleeker and smaller) - AMD A8-3850 APU - Asrock A75M-ITX - 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM (1866MHz) Cant wait to get this build going and see how the new AMD APU performs. |

Newegg sells 8 different mini-itx power supplies >200W. Just buy the case you want, and a power supply that will feed it.

Additionally this will give me a chance to actually see how much space I really do need for CPU cooling and cooling in general. If you any suggestion for cases that are the ZBOX range let me know. Thanks for the suggestion. |

I've already given my recommendation... hide the box in a closet. You'll save a LOT of money not having to buy the shrunk down systems - you'd save more than the cost of the HDMI and USB extension cables that would be required.

Thanks for the help everyone. Will let everyone know how the new hardware works out (I read on a few threads that the E350 lacked a little in HP so hopefully the A8 will address this issue). |

I honestly don't see why you would need a 200W power supply for a sagetv client. If so, you are buying too powerful hardware. My more than capable i3 client draws at most about 65W.

Zotac announced a new system that could make a pretty nice extender.
It is a palm-sized computer that costs less than $300. http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/03/z...md-brazos-apu/ Quote:

The 3850 is a LOT more than you would need for a client. the e350, cpu wise, is considerably better than an Atom-330, and there are plenty who have used atom boards with the ion gpu as capable clients. The gpu with the e350 is also on par if not better than ion's, so it should have no problem for a client. (honestly, if the gpu is good, the cpu really doesn't do much in a client, except the UI - and even that in sage is somewhat accelerated.

Of all the possible HD300 "replacement" clients I have researched this looks like the best combination of size, performance, and cost.

I do strongly agree with you Will. And it comes pre-loaded with a wireless N NIC!

Sorry to ask what is a completely stupid set of questions, but I have recently in the past few hours realized that Hauppauge's website incorrectly shows the old original MVP but will actually send the newer MVP-HD instead (thanks for attention to detail there hauppauge), so I will be upgrading from Version 5 to 7 soon and will build a new complete sage server. (for those following, massive lightening strike took out all but two old MVP's)
Will the MVP-HD not natively work like the old MVP's did before (such as they boot up, find sage server, then the sage interface appears on the screen)? I have been reading the past month or so following the Boxee threads too, but I like many on this thread build all my stuff and I have 3 mini-itx systems on the back of monitors now for surfing and checking email around the house, the question is, OK, how do you watch or better yet, how do you control sage while laying in bed from one of these mini-itx systems? Told you it was going to be a very stupid question or two, but after 6, close to 7 full years of completely stable wonderful SageTV watching with NO additional work on my part, you can tell I need to get up to speed on alot of stuff. Bob E.
