Gigabyte H663 Home Entertainment System - Your next HTPC? - [hardware]
05:34 AM EST - Jan,02 2007 - post a comment

The chaps over at Tweaktown take a look at Gigabyte H663, an Intel Viiv-based HTPC designed to slot straight into your home theatre:
The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8I945EF-RH, which has an Intel 945G Express Northbridge chipset and an Intel ICH7-DH Southbridge. The motherboard has an onboard Intel GMA950 graphics adaptor, but there is also a PCI-E Gigabyte GC-ADD2EF-RH graphics card with DVI and S-Video - this card isn't an independent graphics card in its own right, it simply expands the capabilities of the GMA950 adaptor. Onboard audio is provided via a Realtek HD audio chipset. The processor installed in this model is an Intel Pentium D 3GHz but you do have the option of buying the H663 as a "barebones" system without any components installed, depending on your location. The hard drive is a 250GB SATA-II Hitachi Deskstar, the optical drive is a Matshita DVD-RAM SW-9585 and there's a single stick of 1GB PC2-4300 Apacer RAM. Unlike most HTPCs which use a traditional computer PSU, the H663 has a 220W external power adaptor. This has the advantage of saving quite a bit of internal space, reduces heat build up and promotes silent running.
