Well, Eskom fuucked my HTPC motherboard it seems (even with the UPS - ah well, what do you expect when you go line-interactive?)
So, I need a replacement. I have a Micro-ATX case, but would prefer a Mini-ITX board for future shrinkage.
Last I checked, Mini-ITX boards were thin on the ground in SA.
Any recommendations?
Requirements:
Will run Kodi (Ubuntu version)
Must support Optical SPDIF! My AV receiver only takes optical input and TV does not have a passthru!
Preferably Mini-ITX form factor.
Watch mainly SD and 1080p HD. No 4K and 3D required.
Will consider a stand alone Media Player appliance, but it must be able to run Kodi.
Would prefer to buy within SA, but will happily import from a reliable source if available.
Ideas, recommendations, comments?
Thanks guys.
