i'm not sure if your system will be able to handle Myth <snicker> ok, ok. actually, if you search through the archives of the list you'll see that a lot of ppl want to know what a machines specs should be before building a MythBox. your machine is way overkill if you're planning on using it for a dedicated MythBox. especially with the PVR-X50 cards. if you don't have the hardware yet, save your money and buy a cheaper system (or two systems). ------------------------------------ 6 GMail Invites available Email me OFF-list only...
