RE: Quiet & Cool PC's



Both the ATI all in wonder and the Matrox TV card do this

In work we use the Osprey 220 Capture Card which is much more stable and
can
be run from VB code

Hope this helps

Mike

Hi Simon / Neil (And everyone!)

Apologies for my lack of knowledge here I keep looking at all these
Video cards and they list S-video support but seem to be referring to
the TV-out functionality? I want the S-video feed to INTO the card
(Although out AS WELL would be nice :-)) so I can watch Tivo, DVD feed
etc on my PC monitor in a window.
Am I missing something or just being thick?

Any guidance or appropriate cards would be good. For either in or out
S-video.

Many thanks

Rob Mouser

>So what do I put in it?

Seagate Barracuda are generally regarded as the quietest hard discs you
can
buy - I've used a number of them in systems which have been for
bedrooms,
quiet offices etc and have had no complaints. (inc a DVD/TV/Radio/Music
PC I
have in my own bedroom which is near silent!)

I'd recommend :
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe  motherboard- Stacked with features and also available
without in-built graphics allowing you to select what best suits your
requirements
AMD AthlonXP 2800 CPU - fast CPU for a decent price
1Gb fast memory
120Gb Seagate hard disc

Email me off list if you want a quote for a complete system, or
everything
can be sourced online from ebuyer, dabs, aria etc

Cheers,


/Neil/
