Hi there,
just got this "ALTERNATIVE NUC....SOUND PROOF" 4 days ago:
* MS-Tech CI-70 (including, PicoPSU 120W)
* ASRock Q1900B (Quad-Celeron 2ghs-2,5ghz/MiniITX) (Q1900B-ITX)
* KINGSTON SSDNow 60GB V300 SATA3 6,4cm (SV300S37A/60G)
* Kingston 4GB Modul 1600MHz Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM 1_35V (KVR16LS11/4)
Price, DK, 225 Euro´s (we have 25% tax in DK)! Good price!
(Beware of the motherboard, as there is various versions of it; look the one with S/Pdif out, Sata3 (I got the one whitout sadly, bu no big issue really)).
On Win7 + XBMC Gotham, use it for PVR though Myth(Buntu)TV (this machine (my former HTCP) hold dual core pentium 2,5ghz, 2 GB ram and 2 TB WD Nas HD + Terreatec Cyergi CI HD).
It play everthing I trow at it and TV/movies runs super fine!
Reason to buy this one:
* 100% NO SOUNDS!
* CPU no Fans, HD no Sound, PSU no Sound --> The small sound there comes from former Mediacenters was is annyoing!
* TDP watts low = alway on!!!!
* HiFi Look`n`like (you can get cheaper boxes w. PicoPSU, but they is lees HiFI look´n´like).
* Intels NUCs look to much plastic, have fans!

I use settings (not sure on the english wording/translation as I set it up to danish :-) :
* Diable "run as window"
* Enable "Use movie refresh rate"
* Deinterlace "On, DVXA best"
* Upscaling "Automatic" (as I see most HD channels and 720p movies, I see no big improvemt using the other settings, did play with Lacross3, and framerate might went down --> no sure how to measure completly?)
*Hardware accelation "On, DVXA", but read it might give better picture quvality to use Pixel sharders, so gonna try that!
Question, what is the best settings? Anyone got ideas for that?
