Would you care to elaborate on how you make a nice FE box for $200? :)<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br>Sure. I've posted it a few times now. <br><br><a href="http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12283828">http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12283828</a><br>
<br>You will need to pick a different CPU, but any AM2 CPU should get the job done. Even a single core A64 would work. I've got it running on an X2 3800+ and use about 5% CPU while watching HD streams via VDPAU. <br><br>
It's not nearly as small as this new ION based machine, but it's a very nice little box. It even gets wife approval. It's a little closer to $300, I'm apparently getting senile. :) <br></div></div>
