I’m building a very similar unit, check the “tech” category on my blog for pics. I don’t have the video card yet but it will be fanless – you don’t need a gonzo gaming card with a fan.

The two rear fans in the Origen X11 are pretty quiet. It’s that one at bottom left you mention that runs loud, and there’s no speed control on it. I’ll be looking to replace it. Also, there are some issues with the USB ports on the front of the case. I really need to call Origen about that before I’m completely out of warranty.

Far cheaper to build your own, but if you can’t do that, just don’t buy Phillip’s Micro Media center….

I think Long deserves to either keep or sell this thing for one times sake.

Chris-

We already have a lot in the works when it comes to slimmer “players.” One we’re working on looks very similar in size to the Toshiba HD-DVD players. This unit is more of the ultimate media “server” – you can do everything on it and even game at high resolution.

We definitely see the need for a more stripped-down, videophile quality “player.”

Long,

Keep the PC. Those that whine about it are the type that assume you are an MS guy no matter what you say or do.
