Home not only media center on Zotac IONITX-AE

The post is posted at the request of Habrauzer silvergh0st . He realized his

mistake and seeks to correct, but not enough karma to post even in

personal blog. So Well, all the pluses and minusiki direct him.

Good day, the venerable Habravchane.



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

Today I want to submit to your court my first review of computer hardware.



I recently wanted to assemble a multifunctional “media center” for myself, such that not only watch movies and listen to music on it, but also sit in the internet, add servers, but also for the price, so that it is not very expensive.



In general, quite small, but it is not a very bad computer.







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



1. 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 see no point in describing DVDs, memory and HDDs, everything is pretty standard.



Perhaps I'll start with the case:

Format	Desktop
Description	case with power supply
Power Supply	150 W
Fans	1 x 80m
Weight	2.6 kg
Number of compartments	3.5 ”ext / ext 1
Dimensions	303x166x200mm
Number of compartments	5.25 "1
Front Panel	USB2.0 x2, audio
Compatible motherboard format	Mini-ITX
Products webpage	www.chyangfun.com

The first thing I threw out of the body of the native power supply, because I don't need him there, only he will take up space. On mamma there is its external nutrition. True, he left the "extension cord" from the power supply to the rear panel, so as not to look like an "extra hole" missing socket.



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















Now the most delicious - Zotac motherboard



Honestly, I first wanted to assemble myself on the usual Intel'e and not to soar the brain, but comrade advised to pay attention to this manufacturer and I have never regretted that I took this particular mother.



So, to start the characteristics:

Model	IONITX-AE (the last letter indicates the market for which it is intended. In this case, Europe)
Chipset
Manufacturer	Nvidia
mGPU	ION
CPU
Name	Intel Atom N330 (dual-core) (1.6 GHz) HyperThreading
Sockett	NA (soldered)
FSB	533 MHz
Memory
Type of	DDR2
Frequency	667/800 MHz
Slots	2 240-pin DIMM
Volume	up to 4 GB
3D API
Directx	ten
Opengl	2.1
Built-in wifi
Standard	802.11n
Ports
DVI	1 (HDCP)
HDMI	1 (HDCP w / 7.1-channel Audio)
VGA	one
SATA	3 (SATA 3.0 Gbps)
eSATA	1 (SATA 3.0 Gbps)
PS / 2	1 (Keyboard)
USB 2.0	10 (6 on back panel, 4 via pin header)
Ethernet	10/100 / 1000Mbps (RJ45)
Cooler	Passive (Optional Low-Noise Fan)
Windows vista	Vista Premium ready

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























The case fan is quite loud, so I turned it off, but did not remove it - it does not interfere.



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



Something like that. Thanks for attention.
