Hi,
I have
a Epia with 533 MHz and it is fine for all standard features of vdr and some
plugins (like mp3 and dvd). I haven't tried DivX, because i think that this
platform is not powerfull to do this directly. But with the
mplayercluster-plugin this should be possible, too.
I
don't know, if a totally silent system will be possible. The Epia itself does
not produce so much heat, but if you want to use a DVB-s 1.3, than you will have
some trouble to cool this hot beast. But perhaps with a heatpipe it could be
possible. I'm using a slow 8cm fan to bring some airflow in the case (a Kenwood
DP-3080 cdplayer case), but in the summer this is a little bit unstable. But i
don't know, if this happens because the DVB-s becomes too hot or if the
mainboard makes the trouble, or the power supply (110W should be enough for this
setup).
