I think I'm going to put the pictures of my install together and do a write up about it. Hardware seems to be a common question on this list, but there's not too many detailed lists of exactly what worked for people (well, there's the mythtv hardware database, but I found it less than helpful). I found Jarod's list of his hardware specifics very helpful, in fact, I got the same motherboard because I assumed if he has TVout working on it, then I could get it to work... If I did the above again, being a couple weeks later in the every changing computer hardware world, I'd get the Chaintech 7NIF4 (+SATA!!), and the SATA version of the Samsung 160gb drive. Mainly for the convenience of small cables. I might upgrade my board anyway and just sell the one I have on ebay for $50 or something, it's only 2 weeks old... ;) Another thing, the newer board supports Sempron too, which are ?cheaper? than XP's... What would be kick ass is a version of that board with DVI out! Now I'm dreaming. -Kenneth
