I cant find WD AV-GP WD10EURX where I live.
what do you think of: Western Digital Caviar Green 1000GB WD10EARX
or Western Digital Caviar Green 1000GB WD10EZRX or Western Digital AV-GP 1000GB WD10EUCX?

[Nimo]

the av-gp is a 24/7 without server features. there are a lot of different 1TB drives (different cache, 3GB-6GB).
the green drive is for desktop systems and a bit hotter. in my nas Raid5 i began with 8x 2TB caviar-green. and one after one died and i replaced one after one with av-gp. now i have since 3 years no dead drive. thats why i like these drives. and yes the WD10EUCX is enough.

Advise for a remote: Logitech Harmony + RC6 capable receiver

You could save a bit of cash by going for the ASrock A75M rather than the ITX version.

I need optical audio connector.
ASrock A75M lack of this connector.

Logitech Harmony is out of budget for the moment, looking for something cheaper.

[DavidT99]

Asrock A75M has optical audio output.

You get a new Harmony 300 for 15 bucks!
Even a no-name remote would cost 10 bucks, so a Harmony is your best bet

Thanks will get it.
Can you recommend on IR?

Can it open the TV on HDMI + open receiver + open HTPC in 1 macro?

There are several HP receivers on eBay for a few bucks...
I bought my one in a German shop...
Google for "Cohaus Shop Berlin"...there you see the product ID that you can search on eBay...

To be honest, I have no clue if the 300 has macro support...my 650 definitely does...but the Logitech page is quite good...

you could use the cir with this mb, also wake from s5 is supported. but no idea where you get it.

I have IR extender so I could hide this thing

I was thinking of getting Logitec Harmony 600 to control my HTPC.
Do I need to get a dongle it to work or could use the onboard cir?
