    Just curious how you are liking your set up so far. I too am looking an onboard GF 9300 with the muse case so a few questions if you don’t mind.

    1. does your dvd drive line up well with the Muse’s cover?
    2. do you have an stuttering with HD playback though VDPAU?
    3. what kind of CPU load do you have with typical HD playback?
    4. anything you would have done differently?

    Hi Travis,

    I’m loving my set up so far – no regrets about the hardware that was chosen. The weakest points are that it does get worrying hot and it is quite noisy.

    1. Does your dvd drive line up well with the Muse’s cover?
    Yes, no problem.
    2. Do you have an stuttering with HD playback though VDPAU?
    No.
    3. What kind of CPU load do you have with typical HD playback?
    Don’t know – don’t usually play HD content, usually just watch Freeview TV.
    4. Anything you would have done differently?
    One problem is that the machine is a bit noisy. I did consider using two machines, a front-end and a back-end so that only the quiet front-end machine is in the living room. In the end, for reasons of space and convenience I choose a single machine.
