Via Epia SP13000, 1Meg Ram, 120GB HD + 250GB HD, PVR500 (and external 
HdHomeRun) for 4 tuners.

37 Watts during playback.

I used a Silverstonetek LC11M case (not particularly small), I replaced 
the 40mm fan on the SP13000 and the side 80mm fan in the LC11M with 
Silenx fans.

Perfectly capable of SD playback. Not quite capable of HD...will do 720 
output using the VGA output but baulks on 1080.

This motherboard can be powered with an external power brick and 'pico' 
supply.
