I looked at all the options and selected an M350 case with a ZOTAC<br>
ION-A board (dual-core), 2GB RAM, a fan speed adjuster, a<br>
SATA-CompactFlash adapter and a 16GB high performance flash card. I<br>
will add a bluetooth adapter and PS3 bluetooth remote soon.<br>

I am looking to get the system a little quieter with a larger<br>
slower/quieter fan on the CPU; but the system is quick to boot and<br>
plays anything the my other mythfrontends can play; inc HD.<br></blockquote><div><br>Richard, I would be interested to hear how you plan to modify the M350 case for a larger/slower fan. I was hoping I could run my single-core Atom passively-cooled, but it stutters with 1080i content after a few minutes and I figured out it was the GPU temperature. Since placing a supposedly quiet 40mm fan inside, the stutters are gone, but the fan[1] is too noisy.<br>
<br>I originally bought this case to mount on the back of my 46" LCD TV, but I'm thinking of storing it in a closet and running an HDMI cable through the attic. This means I could creatively use a Dremel and cut out a hole to top-mount a 80mm, 92mm or 120mm fan. I like the idea of a slow-moving Scythe 120mm fan, but it might be too big.<br>
<br>What do you think?<br><br>/Brian/<br>1. <a href="http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9349/fan-582/Noiseblocker_NB-BlackSilentFan_XM1_40mmx10mm_Ultra_Quiet_Fan_-_2800_RPM_-_11_dBA.html?tl=g36c15s70">http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9349/fan-582/Noiseblocker_NB-BlackSilentFan_XM1_40mmx10mm_Ultra_Quiet_Fan_-_2800_RPM_-_11_dBA.html?tl=g36c15s70</a><br>
