You might find the pundit a little small for all that hardware. 1 3.5" drive, 1 5.25" drive, scant PCI options... it's an attractive case but not for the workhorse you're looking to build. A better option might be this:

It has a really slick look, and fits perfectly into MY hometheatre setup. (beware, it may be a little deep for some setups). It has nice construction, and plenty of room for exapansion.

I'm still struggling to get the DVI output of my nVidia GeForce FX5200 working... however, I've heard that many can. I've also heard that many users have better luck with the ATI cards in regards to DVI output... though I can't speak to that.

As for everything else you're looking for, it seems to me that Myth can do it all, and with style! :-)

Good luck,

I want a Myth box, but first:  Can MythTv meet my requirements?

1)  DVI Output to a projector at 1280x720p
2)  HDTV OTA recording
3)  Web Surfing
4)  Picture Viewing
5)  Once setup by me, easy to use and pretty to show off
6)  10/100 network
7)  Wireless remote for normal functions (tv, dvd)
8)  Wireless keyboard/mouse for browsing
9)  Very quiet operation
10) DVD progrssive playback upconverted to 1280x720p
11) Dolby Digital 5.1 output (digital optical or coaxial)
12)  Be able to record 8+ hours of HDTV and 5.1 audio


So I have the PCHDTV-3000 card. Which video card to get that will work with Mythtv and be able to output everything via the DVI port at 1280x720p?

What case to put all this in?  I'd prefer it NOT look like
a pc.  Will the ASUS Pundit work for all the hardware?

Motherboard?  Amount of RAM?  Processor?  Disk space?  How much disk space does
HDTV + 5.1 audio use? 1 hour = XX gigs?

Budget?  Under $2K should be doable for this, right?
