AMD64 board + Fanless Graphic card, full SATA II?

Hello,

can anybody recommend a 100% Fedora )or Linux, generally) compatible
combination of:

1) microAtx board for AMD 64 with full support for:
10/100/GB Ethernet
SATA-II with NCQ
on board sound
cool-n-quiet, fan/voltage/frequency control to
minimize power dissipation and noise
no video of sort on board, it would be useless,
since the other piece is:

2) *separate* fanless graphic card with DVI output and TV-input
(the latter is needed mainly to put VHS tapes on DVD)

Thank you in advance for any feedback,

Dillo

2) graphics card: brand nvidia

Hi,

I like the K8NSC-939 pretty well although it is a little bit on the "old" side with the nForce3 chipset and no PCI Express slots. It has 8X AGP and PCI slots. It does have 1 Gig Ethernet on it but it's a full ATX board.

I like the nVidia cards.

If you are going to be converting VHS tapes to DVD, I for one wouldn't do it that way. Using an analog to digital converter such as the ADVC-110. Then use smilutils, mjpegtools and y4mscaler to clean up the digital video. Once it's encoded into mp2 format, use something like DVD lab pro running under WINE to author the DVD. There is a program called QDVDauthor for Linux. But the last time I looked at it, it still left a lot to be desired in a real DVD authoring program.

Hope that helps.
