<br>on the SSD front I think these will get cheaper fairly soon as they aproach mainstream<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 10:02 AM, Raymond Wagner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raymond@wagnerrp.com">raymond@wagnerrp.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello, it is time for my annual consideration of updating my MythTV setup.<br>
<br>
Can anyone recommend a fanless VDPAU-compatible card; and also a dual core CPU that can run fanless?<br>

The only way you're going to get a fanless system is to either use an extremely low power processor like an Atom, or have a heatpipe (or water) running to a huge external heatsink. Zalman used to have an entire case designed around that concept.<div>
