Passive (fan-less) PCs?
Time

Thanks for the reply.

I'd really like to build one, I like the method "learning by doing" :-) I already have a HTPC but it's getting really old and more and more noisy, so I'm thinking about making a fan-less one.

Could you write some tips about the PSU and other things?

I've been thinking about the J1800 motherboard (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-ga-j1800-d2h-motherboard-celeron,25942.html ) which has integrated a dual core Celeron processor.

The HDDs - I'm thinking about an SSD or a WD Green, but a 2.5" HDD could be better indeed. RAM - no idea which RAM I would use.

And I have absolutely NO idea about the other components :-)

Can I ask what pre-made did you buy if it's not secret?

Passive (fan-less) PCs?
Time

Does anybody have any experiences with passively cooled (fan-less) PCs? I'm trying to build for myself a HTPC, criteria are

- silence (that's why I want to try passive cooling)

- dimensions (the smaller the better)

- powerful enough for playback of 1080p MKVs

Unfortunately I have no experiences with passive cooling and google isn't very helpful :-) I'd like to hear some tips for the components

Forgive me if this has already been addressed. Sadly I don't have time to read all 459 pages and a search was not fruitful. Ive tried twice to download V2.5 from a torrent and both times its stuck at 77%. Any idea why this might have happened? Any help would be appreciated.

Also wanted to add that I've just bought a 180p projector and I want this to be the first and last version of Star Wars I watch on it, apart from Ady's marvellous version of course. Thanks for your continued, brilliant work guys!

 180p? Worse than youtube ? :-)
