Home Media Not Only at Zotac IONITX-AE

    Post posted at the request of Habrauser silvergh0st . He realized his
    mistake and seeks to improve, but lacks karma for a post, even on a
    personal blog. So well, all the pluses and minuses should be sent to him.


    Good day, the venerable Khabravchane.

    My start was not very successful, which I am very sorry. Please forgive me for this, I will be corrected.

    Today I want to present to your court my first review of computer hardware in my life.

    I recently wanted to bring home such a multifunctional "media center", and such that not only to watch movies on it and listen to music, but also to sit on the Internet, administer the server, but also at a price so that it does not come out very expensive.

    In general, a rather small, but not very bad computer.



    My choice fell on the Atom 330. Total I took for myself:

    1. The motherboard - Zotac IONITX-AE / Atom330
    2. DVD-RW - LG
    3. Memory - DDR2 2Gb / 6400 Kingston
    4. HDD - 500 Gb Hitachi
    5. Case - CFI Group CBI-A8989TG mITX

    I do not see the point of describing DVD, memory and HDD, everything is pretty standard here.

    Perhaps I'll start with the case:

    FormatDesktop
    Descriptionhousing with power supply
    Power Supply150 watts
    Fans1 x 80m
    Weight2.6 kg
    Number of bays3.5 ”external / internal 1
    Dimensions303x166x200 mm
    Number of bays5.25 ”1
    Front PanelUSB2.0 x2, audio
    Compatible Motherboard FormatMini-ITX

    The first thing I threw out my native power supply from the case, because I don’t need him there, only he will occupy a place. The mother has her own external food. True, he left an “extension cord” from the power supply to the rear panel, so that it would not look like a “missing hole” in the missing socket.

    In principle, with the case everything is clear and extremely clear.







    Now the tastiest thing is the Zotac motherboard

    Honestly, I wanted to first assemble myself on a regular Intel and don’t soar my brain, but a friend advised me to pay attention to this manufacturer and I never regretted taking this mother.

    So, to start the characteristics:

    Ethernet10/100 / 1000Mbps (RJ45)
    CoolerPassive (Optional Low-Noise Fan)
    Windows VistaVista premium ready






    In general, here is such a motherboard. As a result of the assembly, everything looks like this (I apologize for the quality, I have a digital camera, but I want to share my joy): The











    case fan is quite loud, so I turned it off, but didn’t take it off - it doesn’t interfere.

    As a result, I have at home a kind of hybrid of a media center and a working machine. You can watch a movie with pleasure and work without problems. What I wish you.

    Something like that. Thanks for attention.
