  1. and it be installed to the back of the desk now...
  2. just remember the pi has a built in H264 decoder..
  3. yeah shall be a daily driver, as electricity costs a shit load where i am.. my main rig is running dual GTX 570's.. when i was running this as a test while only turning on the gaming PC now and then, i noticed the power bill dropped a good 20%
  4. few months back found a PC on the side of the road cause it was council cleanup in my area, needed some ram, and the mechanical drive in it was almost dead.. but i noticed it had a removable MB tray.. which brought on the idea of a stealth build.. mount a few parts to a bit of plywood and mount that to the back of my desk.. the other day i needed to wander down to the local PC shop to grab an SSD for it, got a new PSU as the generic one that was in the orig box was louder than a 747, also got a new CPU cooler for it as the fan was almost dead from dust and shit in the bearings.. and had thrown in a spare 500gb 24/7 seagate server drive i had laying around for storage.. using bits of old mechano i had laying around for the past 20 years.. i mounted the parts needed to the plywood specs AMD X2 250 2x2gb Corsair DDR2 800mhz Gigabyte GA-MA780G-UD3H Kingston 120gb V300 SSD Seagate ST3500630NS 24x7 500gb Drive Corsair VS 450w PSU its cheaper to run this rig as a daily driver than my gaming rig, so its nice to not be ass raped by the power company when the bills come around.. and tommorow i shall do the stealth part.. mounting this to the rear of my desk up against the wall (there shall be adequate ventilation as i dont keep the desk hard up against the wall) when i mount it to the back of the desk, might need to break out the soldering iron to extend the power/reset switches as i had them bundled up neatly under stress testing this mobo to ensure it was 100% stable, but other than that, should be fairly easy to do and shall post pics when the job is done..
  5. i wish.. velcro straps aint as tasty
