Ok, after lurking here for a day and seeing the great amount of
interaction on this list, I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm going to
build a new machine that will be dedicated to MythTV. What hardware
would you recommend, and why? TIA, J.
Well, it all seems to depend on what your needs are. Is HD a priority?
Are you in the US? Do you want a single all in one machine, or separate
backend/frontent machines? Do you want to use over the air, cable,
digital cable, or satellite?
It all depends on where you want to be.
In my case (pun intended...), it's US, NTSC cable (i.e., no HD),
combined system.
The email from Maverick yesterday detailed what he bought, based
on the Jarod's "Standard Definition Slave Backend and Playback
System" says this:
Chaintech 7NIF2
Athlon XP 2700+
2x 256MB DRAM PC3200
Samsung 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model SP1614C
SilverStone Lascala SST-LC11 HTPC Case
PVR-350
Sounds about right. The only thing to really consider is the case, if
you want it to be a part of a home theater setup.
Tom
