I have bought the Lil and the real estate inside is quite adequate for a nettop but the physical dimensions will not allow a regular PCI card. The quality of the Circle Lil is the best among that from iBall Circle etc. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

The chotu cabinet has overheating problems and I don't recommend it. I went with a regular mini cabinet to fit a dual core Atom and 2 x HDDs for my NAS box at home. Revo form factor would have been excellent. - Raja ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] Making a Linux HTPC at home
Want to make a Home Theatre PC which runs Linux. What will be the BOM and where in Chennai can one expect to get the components? Can one make something as good as a commercial products - a specially designed HTPC casing/cabinet (which normally looks like a stand-alone DVD-player or VCR), a computer IR remote-control, and a flash memory-card reader, Component video out, HDMI out) -- Manvendra Bhangui http://www.indimail.org GPG Pub Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC7CBC760014D250C I think $[ is more like a coelacanth than a mastadon. -- Larry Wall in <199705101952.maa00...@wall.org> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
