Re:Mini Cpu
Hello SuperSparksand all, i have found the manual.
Cannot find the TV on the net either. It's 1 Yr 2months old now.
It has a PC in and audio connection, i am sure i have a two way cable which will fit the back of the TV and is it the Monitor on the CPU? Looks the same as my monitor on the present old CPU. Also, it has Pic in Pic only for use with a computer.
Has 2 HDMI connections on my TV (so will i need HDMI on the small cpu?)
Or will that cable supplied with the TV be enough.
It has a Audio in, would i need a lead for that?? If so, what one?
Had a look around, the only ones i could locate was a Dell UK, see link and a HP in the USA, lost the link. I think it was a 3500 series HP

Upto that price i can just afford.
Thanks for your help, Gep

Is it a Plasma TV or LCD?
What size (diagonal)?

HDMI outputs on computers are rare (but as you found, not out of the question). You can get DVI-to-HDMI converter cables as well, so you're not limited to HDMI-wielding PCs.
That said, the Dell Studio Hybrid is probably the way I'd go if I was doing it right now. Mac Minis are reasonably popular for the job as well (you can install Windows or Linux on them if you don't want to use Mac OS), but I think the Dell box is a better deal.
