wow ok..RM165 is cheap. Not sure if they still keep stock for his model.
C zone price list doesn't have that model anymore.

i really think it's from pczone. 2 weeks back when i bought my unit, they still have a few pieces of it in the front cabinet.

Ok thanks for the advice. Will call PC zone and ask. Thanks!

I have exactly the setup as you and prior to having air con my bill was about RM80 per month, when I use it about 12-16hrs per day (switch off when nothing downloading on). As you did, with only about 10hrs per day my bill also dropped to RM40++

I now use atom 330 with 24/7 torrenting and 4-6hrs of air con per night will come to RM60-70. On very warm months (april and may) when i switch air con to 6hrs and 24C, my bill comes to RM80.

Anyway for Dual core setups with ATI4850, the idling consumption is about 200W which roughly translates to 5sen per hour = RM30 per month. If you game it goes to 300W.

What brand is it the one you saw?

eh.. If it's 5 sen per hour, then it should be about RM36 per month and this is not inclusive of playing games or torrenting and also not inclusive of the power consumption from the processor, hard disk, etc.

Good to know that if my PC is turned off, I can cut my electricity bill by RM40 or so... I think the new Mac Mini I got should doing less than 50 watts

Hi bros and sis,

My boss is asking about his HTPC prob.

He's having Asus EAH4670 GPU and according to him, the picture quality on HDMI is worst than VGA cable. Anyone with the same problem?

Is there any solution for this? Thanks...

What sound card are you using right now? Not all sound card support audio bitstream.
You also can use ATI HD 5xxx series graphic card to bitstream HD audio to AVR.

Where can i get such HTPC to fit following Hardware..

1) Intel 1-7 920
2) Asus Rampage extreme II
3) Asus 5970 vga
4) Asus xonar essence stx sound card
5) Cooler master 100watts
6) 2 Unit Hdd..

i think is nothing to do with my sc.. since my gc should able to perform HD audio bitstream, but i dunno how to setting it

Here

can i insert 4890 in HTPC??..

Guys, o, planing to try XBMC, im a Mediaportal user. so far setup movie and tv series are easy using Moving Picture and Tvseries plugin, my question is for XBMC how to setup movies easily to download information and fanarts?

Based on spec, the atom 330 consumes about 15-20W of power, if in a casing with 70% efficiency and 5W hdd, it'll take up to 30W in nominal conditions.

Cost of electricity for first block is 0.22 /KW/hr and 0.30 /KW/hr, so do the maths. I guess even at 0.30/KWhr so it translates to up to RM9 per month on 24/7.

ahhh... tq bro.... huhuhu
