Thanks for reading, i remember i looked somewhere here or at the boyac forums, a project where the guy used some kind of small motherboard, like the intel atom type that does not use afa and also he used like a separate power supply kind of what you would use with a laptop.Im trying to build a slim and small wall jukebox type and im having a hard time finding that kind of hardware.Any help would be apreciated, thanks.

wow, about the motherboards i can buy them local, but the power supply ill ha to order'it on ebay, was wondering if there are suggestion on wich one would be best to buy, as i see there are some at 24 dlls and some at 80 dlls. Could this be the case that the more expensive the better or the cheap ones would work fine? thanks for any advice.

the more expensive ones probably give you more watts, depends what else you are running off it.

Get yourself a picoPSU-160-XT and a dual core atom mini-ITX board. You should be good to go unless barry does some major overhauling to his jukebox software.
