Hi list [...]
Anyway, my goal is to build the *ULTIMATE* HTPC. [...]
* Processor: Intel Celeron?
No idea how much processing power would be required for a decent HTPC. Preferably as low powered as possible, as the CPU will have to be passively cooled.
How about a Via Epia CPU? These have two important advantages for a HTPC: - fanless (not all models) - MPEG-accelleration I've built a HTPC myself as a toy-project, altough i use it mainly for watching DVDs. So far the Epia works great for me, it's not the strongest CPU around, but it's nice and quiet (fanless, HDD/DVD are the only moving parts). mvg, Guus
