Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

thin itx motherboards
You can see the current E350 based build here... and my HTPC is here. With 2 Samsung F4EGs and the E350, it doesn't go beyond 55W at boot up and idles at 17W. This is with 8GB of DDR3 and 2 big fans - by the way. So 210W might be overkill but it would need around 120W ~ 150W anyways. Add in +...- harshw

thin itx motherboards
There's the Habey series of mini-ITX cases, especially the EMC-600B Really taking advantage would mean using Intel's thin profile cooling and I have not been able to buy one for some time now. Hence I ended up mounting the DH61AG in a 600B Also, the DQ77KB has 5 SATA ports, not 4. One of the...- harshw

Mini-ITX with 4 DIMM slots ?
It's *not* an embedded board - believe me, those have even tigher integration of components. But Intel also has their server version of the Mini-ITX - the S1200KP - with dual GigE and a 16x PCI-E socket. Having 16x PCIe or Thunderbolt helps greatly when you link up nodes with Infiniband or you...- harshw

Mini-ITX with 4 DIMM slots ?
Things might change. A mini-ITX motherboard like the DQ77KB is of serious interest to folks wanting to build clusters. It would be easiser to power many such motherboards, the Q77 has a built-in VNC server, embedded into the BIOS ( and lets you control BIOS + other stuff remotely ) and offers...- harshw

Mini-ITX with 4 DIMM slots ?
Correct, but I'm in the other 1% unfortunately, having to run a few virtual machines with SQL Server on them :) I was actually going to either: get a Shuttle and mod the drive bay to take 4 or 5 2.5" SSDs - or then just use a quality mATX motherboard in a good case. But the Fractal Design Node...- harshw

Mini-ITX with 4 DIMM slots ?
I'm trying to decide between the Shuttle SZ77R5 and a Mini-ITX build based on the Fractal Design Node. One of the most appealing features of the SZ77R5 are the 4 DIMM slots - I can put 32GB of memory in a tiny case ! ( Yes what I am doing does require oodles of RAM :D ) Are there any Mini-ITX...- harshw

Truly SFF Mini-ITX
Try EMC-800b / 600b cases from Habey. The OEM is e-Mini from China/Taiwan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811321014 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811321012 http://www.missingremote.com/review/habey-emc-600b-sff-chassis...- harshw

SSD for HTPC worth it?
Remember to get your paging file down to say 16MB - provided you have enough RAM, you wouldn't really need a paging file. And also to disable hybrid sleep -so the system doesn't write GBs of data to hiberfil.sys every time it sleeps. With these two measures, I have 42GB free from a 60GB SSD...- harshw

SSD for HTPC worth it?
I built a small HTPC with a Habey EMC case with Intel's DH61AG motherboard and a Pentium G620. The previous HTPC was based on a DG45FC and an E5200 The DH61AG has a mSATA port that I populated with an OCZ Strata ( based on the old Indilinx controller ) - it's one of the slower SSD drives out...- harshw

Out of interest, who calibrates their screen?
Two MBPs, a Dell 2405, a Dell 3007 and a Dell 3008WFP - I use i2 to calibrate everything. But I agree with comments above - i2's software is basic and leaves much to be desired ( If you're serious about color calibration, a post calibrated i2/spyder unit and some professional software like... -

Pantone Huey vs X-Rite Eye One Display 2
The XRite i1 Display2 is supposed to be the better device - depends on your usage really. In any case the XRite software that comes with the device is pretty basic ( although s/w such as Color Eyes is available and more advanced - it sets you back considerably in terms of $$$ ) If you're into... -

Dell 3008FWP for under $$1500!!!
I don't think the 3008 supports 1.3 HDMI which means you're limited to 1920x1080. If you wish to watch protected content @ 2560x1600, then DisplayPort is your best option
