Hello,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to hardware, as I am getting a little overwhelmed with all the choices. I run FreeBSD and XP at home, but haven't used Linux in a long time.
Here are my needs:
- I want to use the Silverstone LC11M case,
- I will probably use KnoppMyth as it seems the easiest
- am worried about fan noise,
- will be using MAME and bittorrent more than actual encoding
- but want one capture card with the option of having two at some point,
- am not worried about money necessarily (if something costs 100$ more and is THAT much better, fine)
For a mobo, I was looking at
BIOSTAR TForce6100-939
but it seems that is very problematic with Linux drivers?
Another direction I was considering would be to use a mobile Pentium or Celeron. Is this common?
I assumed my first capture card would be a Hauppauge PVR-x50.
What mobo+cpu combos run the coolest and are least problematic driver wise?
GPU wise, sounds like nVIDIA is the only way to go, correct?
