I am dithering hopelessly over which satellite card to buy, but one determining factor could be the amount of heat it produces, as the plan was to house it in a fanless case (Silverstone LC-06). As the CPU will at first be only a Via C3 1GHz, I was going to buy one of the Skystar1/Nexus/ Technotrend Premium models- which is all a little confusing in itself- but have read that some cards can get rather hot. This seems especially to apply to the 1.3 revision (are all the models actually named SkyStar1 this version?), but how do the others fare in general, and is there any card, whether hardware decoding or not, which is particularly good at staying cool?
Thanks for any advice,
Frazer
