That remote is all kinds of awesome, might be worth the purchase price on its own!
Still haven't got around to that Fusion build; this isn't making it any easier... |

That remote on the Asus looks like you could make one powerful Boxee box. But you would have to be careful with your hsf selection if you planned on using the pci-e slot.

Mm see Altech already have stock of the Asus F1A75-I-DELUXE and the Asrock A75M-ITX. That was quick.

Is that an integrated TV tuner? Damn good idea for a HTPC mobo.

dont think it has a tuner just a handy remote and wireless n
a tuner could be hard to add as i dont think they are universal and some countries would need something a bit different -------------------- 2600k@4.8GHz 1.38v - Z77-GENE - 2x4g 1600 8-9-8 - 7970 1150\7000MHz 1.15v - OCZ Synapse 120g Seagate 2tb - Seasonic XP1000 - Dell U2711 - Pioneer Todoroki 5.1

Ah, it's a wireless dual antenna plug. Yeah, there probably are varying standards for TV tuners, would be cool to not need a card or USB device for it though.

6670 is the highest GPU you can run in crossfire right?
Hard choice between it with a USB tuner or a decent dual tuner card. It's always nice to be able to play games on the HTPC on the big screen... |

Yeah, but with Fusion hopefully I can get away with integrated and throw in a HVR-2210 in to a nice and neat little box.

QUOTE (Periander @ Sep 30 2011, 02:59 PM)  Yeah, but with Fusion hopefully I can get away with integrated and throw in a HVR-2210 in to a nice and neat little box. That's the real point of it isn't it? The Asus mobo will make an excellent base for an HTPC with it's inbuilt wireless and accompanying remote control. If I wanted a small lightweight LAN box I would probably use the Asrock. Cheaper and no need for the remote at a LAN unless you spend a fair bit of the LAN time video watching. -------------------- She's going to be really smart, very savvy, haunting good looks, really good at her job.
