Hi, I'm attempting to build a silent machine for my bedroom to push content from my main media server. I've got hold of a picopsu 120 and used it to boot the machine. On standard settings the machine did post, but wouldnt actually boot.

I went into the bios and underclocked the cpu, which resulted in the machine being able to get into windows for a short period, but then it shut itself down. I found this page where someone talks about using a picopsu with an A7V333 board, but I see he's using a mobile chip.

My question: is it worth trying to source the mobile chip? Or am I on a road to despair?

I'm also replacing the hard drive with a compact flash card running in a CF to IDE converter - hopefully this too would reduce my power consumption?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
