Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>videocards>ati (more info?)

I've built an SFF (small form factor) PC using an Antec Aria case. The
case is not well-ventilated and runs pretty darn hot.

I wanted to add an HDTV Wonder to this PC, but now I'm not sure that it
is a good idea. Anybody know how much heat the HDTV Wonder puts out?

Thanks,

Stan

HW details: Athlon 2400, mATX motherboard with 9600Pro, a Firewire Card
and a PVR-150 analog tuner. Running Windows Media Center 2005.

I've gotten some good modding ideas for this case, but I still feel like
I might be trying to cram too much in a small box.

The HDTV Wonder doesn't have any heatsinks and receivers tend to be low
power but I've never seen it mentioned. I don't know if others have done
this but I added a second drive on the secondary IDE channel so the capture
is separated from O/S activity. This eliminated stuttering I got with using
just one drive. If you needed to do this and don't already have a second HD
this would add heat and power consumption.

With 2HDs and a DVD burner your system would be similar to mine powerwise. I
guesstimated it would need a 300watt PS minimum so installed a 350W unit in
my mini case.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
