@Aki Noisy fan? You can hear a pin drop with a Branded Desktop running in the same room. If you need to go the clone way, you can get noiseless fans here in 254. And anyway with a Home Theater Playing loud, what fan noise will you hear?
What are the physical dimensions of the PC you refer to, and will the unit fit into a TV stand cabinet that does not require special ventilations?
No remote controll for a PC??? Now you are letting me down. Wireless keyboards & touchpad combo?, Bluetooth remote control apps that can run on most mobile devices from j2me to Tablets?? They even reserve keys for various media players and media centers.
Bluetooth works fine when it does, but its pretty moody technology. You and i can do the details, tell 90% of the population out there to sync bluetooth and they will ask you many questions.
Ai bwana. I'm even working on an app to turn a phone into a handy laptop numpad. And for the heck of it you can even control a pc via VNC using symbian, android, IOs, winmobile and Phone 7.
Nice. :-)
Boot options or Boot time? Boot options... the more the better..... Spoilt for choice!! Did you know that modern OSes & Hardware feature sleep functionality? Power on in a second..Sleep in about the same time depending on the amount of ram in use.
No computer OS can sleep indefinately, hardware chips are much more stable and leaner. And sleep mode on any computer is far from stable or dependable.
Power consumption...if you are worried about this then get rid of every PC (and every HD & HT device ) in your house and live in the 1970s.
What is the power consumption of the PC you refer to? 250watts to 350watts? That is a lot of power use for simple functionality. All HTs, due to their hardware design are green system and will only draw more wattage as you increase the outputs. A total HT will consume much less.
