Hi,
Again, if this is getting too OT please let me know and I'll shut up
and go to a more appropriate place.

Thanks for this. I'd rather not have to mess with mods (not really a
technical guy) so perhaps I should look for a more powerful psu/case
combo?
My current list of things to buy:
Mobo Via Eden M10000
Case Cubid 2699R - mini-itx Case
Ram Standard 512Mb DDR PC2100/DDR266 184pin 266MHz
TV-card WinTV-PVR 250
CD/DVD Slimline?
HDD Seagate Baracuda 120Gb 7200rpm 8Mb UDMA100 IDE
Kbd/mouse Some kbd/mouse combo wireless thing
Any comment on this? I'm specifically unsure about the ram, I gather
there's somehing called low profile which are lower than other mem
modules. Do I need that kind if I also have a tv-card on the reiser
card?
Suggestions for low noise slimline dvd/cd combo?

I'm not really sure what I need here, will the remote that comes with
the tv-card work with 'everything', or do I need to get a separate
remote for freevo? Will any wireless kbd mouse combo work in linux?
I've built computers before, but it's been quite a few years now and I
haven't really kept up :-)

Hm, yes. I need to figure out how to get that working too :-)
I know support for both the mobo and tuner card are not perfect yet in
Linux, but I'm confident things will improve. But in the mean time, I
may just double boot into you know what and play with Linux until I got
it working. I'm not buying anything until August, so things may change
till then...
I've been thinking about Gentoo. I've never used it before (though not
new to Linux) but thought that for a machine like this the optimizations
possible would be useful.
Thanks,
Bo
