</div><div><br></div>If you do, then the ION/Atom processor is not powerful enough to do everything. You will also struggle to make a totally silent backend- the processing and power requirements are too high- best to locate your backend somewhere out of the way and not have to worry about the noise from the cooling! I have a Zotac IONITX board as a frontend and it works brilliantly.<div>
<div><br><div>You have also not mentioned sound and whether you will be happy with the basic stereo sound from your frontend audio output or whether you need a digital audio output to connect to your TV or sound system.</div>
