Hello All,
Ok, I am starting to put together a initial list of items I am going to buy
for my MythTV box. At moment I plan on going with the all in one solution,
however in the future I might get a second little box for the front end.
So far I have:
2 Hauppage PVR 350
If you have a decently fast processor (which you've picked), then I would
suggest either 2 PVR150s or a PVR500. If you get 2 PVR350s, then you'll be
wasting the video out function on one. Get an nVidia card with TV out and
you'll be set there.
Also, if you get PVR150 MCE edition, you can save a couple of bucks by not
buying the remotes. Then you can get the Streamzap remote ($30 or so from
thinkgeek.com). I recommend the Streamzap remotes over using Hauppauge's
remote so that if you build a frontend-only machine, you can have matching
remotes on all machines.

Maybe 1 pcHDTV HD-3000 for Future
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400 or 4800
A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard, I like the AI-Cool Pipe option and it supports
the AMD Cool 'n' Quiet Tech. for fans
I am defiantly open to some suggestions on changes?
I still need to pick out the Case, Power Supply and a few fans. I am thinking
about going with a Fan-less Power Supply for noise reduction and I could use
some suggestions on which fans to look into.
Do any of you suggest a case. I have found several built for noise reduction
and looks since this is going in the living room.
Anyway let me know what you think.
Thanks Quentin

On the side of the software box, in the "System Requirements" section,
it said "Requires Windows 95 or better". So I installed Linux.
