HP ProLiant MicroServer

I decided to purchase and install a Nvidia GT610 yesterday and all of a sudden, openelec decides she does not want to work. It boots off the flashdrive and then it says:

SYSLINK 4.05 EDD 2011-12-09 Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al

Then it will just hang. It was working before I installed the Graphics Card.

Of course Openelec running from flashdrive. I even tried to install Openelec (Generic OS version), but gives me the same issue.

Not sure what other information to provide, but can anybody help me please. Do not want to use Windows, which I am currently doing as a backup

What are the dimensions of the current PSU? If it's a standard SFX ATX PSU (125X100X63mm) then you can find these quite easily from most of the online places like Sybaritic etc. Look at the Antec and CFi units (~R320). Have you opened it up to see whether it can be easily repaired?

Some SFX supplies ...

But it comes at R1500+ so not a viable option.

So in the end i used my eBucks and bought the Thermaltake LitePower 450Watt Power Supply from takealot.com
its not elegant as psu sits outside the microserver but its cheap fix and works.
 
Got my N40 last week. It is still sitting in the box while I figure out my cunning evil plan .... Mu ha ha ha haaaa!
Now to get a super duper graphics card and decide on an operating system.
Freenas .... Windows 7 ..... Openelec etc. Most difficult choice.

Thanks for reminding me about the thing :-)

Installed it quite easily. Will play a bit later and give feedback.

Pretty straight forward with no issues thus far on Windows 7.

To learn functions: Select button on screen, click button on remote. Learned. At the price it is definitely worth trying.

NO, no and no.
I never had to do any of those things - see, the MCE remote is the old Xbox 1 remote which the original Xbox Media Centre was made to use. All those functions are ALREADY in there, you just have to know which buttons they use. (I had an actual MCE remote initially, which helped me work out what was what).
You definitely DO NOT have to add the MCE (Harmony) as a keyboard device to get these functions (and that's not just me, I have 3 friends using Harmonys and theirs all work out of the box too).
I have context, I have vol up and down, I have "option" to see the codec/cpu info etc., I have "Now Playing" I have shortcuts to "Movies, pics, music" mode etc. all on my remote without having to program in keyboard buttons or use keymap.xml files.
All you need to do is say "for this MCE button, if it's not already on the remote, use extra menu button 1, etc in the remote's setup util. BUT, this is only if you want advanced functionality - all the normal stuff's already on there. The only thing I can think of that's missing that 90% of ppl would actually want is "Context", which is child's play to add as I've pointed out.

Sorry, never answered your original Q:
Changing aspect ratio is "OK" on the Harmony / MCE by default. (or you could bring up "DVD menu" too)
Context and subtitles also have specific buttons on an MCE, which I've then added as extra menu buttons on my Harmony (Activities - XBMC - add buttons from the device MCE - add to extra menu 1 = whatever the button is on an MCE.) etc.
(I also used this method to add "DVD Menu", "Now Playing", and the modes etc. mentioned above)
I don't use the "mark as read" button, I use "context", then choose "mark as read" from the quick menu.

Mine was not able to recognize the commands from a "MCE remote" out of the box. I suspect that it could be the receiver I used as it was not an original HP MCE one.

It seems you have no use for the FLIRC device in your setup. Pity I can't say the same.

Out of curiosity, are you using Windows?

It's just as simple on Linux too. No more having to find a proper MCE remote and receiver.
 
Would also be interested to know.
Planning on ordering my flirc today as well.
Btw how much for the 700?

Tv. I figure I can leave the power button mapped to the tv, and use everything else for the microserver. Will that work?

The key presses will still get sent to the TV, unless you cover the IR receiver of the TV,
