AMD's Maui HTPC platform demoed on video

by Darren Murph Nov 23rd 2008 @ 5:27PM

If you were mildly intrigued by AMD's Maui HTPC platform, but have since pushed off the idea of crafting your very own media center PC, we're glad to have your attention once more. HotHardware had a chance to toy around with a Maui-based system, and rather than telling us about it in a dissertation-style writeup, it simply flipped on the video camera and hosted up a 7.5 minute clip showing it off. Have a look after the break.

Look at all those fans. I'm worried this wouldn't run very quiet.

70W power consumption at idle? Sounds pretty steep.

my htpc with a 780G mb, 2GB DDR2, X2 5000+ Blacky, runs at 80W ;)
plays blu-ray at around ~10% even when i downclock the x2 5000 to 2ghz / 1.25v

So where can I get one of these silent flux cpu coolers? I found their website which provides 3 links of where to buy but I needed a password for one, couldn't find it the item on another... I'm located in Canada in case that changes anything.

Hello,

FYI you can buy these from NCIX.com. Terrence Tong would be the one to talk to there.

Best Rgds,
