Thanks for the response. I hope this thread isn't confusing, since there is another with the exact same subject (posted right after mind, weird).
Is this the motherboard? http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=ASUS+A7N8X-E&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N&tab=ff&oi=froogler When you say everything i need, (this is probably a stupid question) does that include a processor? Also, I'll have to get another video card? Also, how do a find a case that know that this will fit in it? Thanks for the links, I'll keep my eye on them. A good website I found for local deals is www.salescircular.com (fyi). Thanks again!

Your hardware list is'nt bad but here are a few sugestions. 1. Get a motherboard and a seperate video card. I say this only because you'll be sharing your RAM with your onboard video(9100 IGP) which will reduce your total RAM by anywhere from 64-256MB depending on how much you allocate. 1.b. DONT USE ATI!!!! I really liked ATI before my switch to linux bit Nvidia just seems to have more support. I have a 9800PRO and will be swapping that for something Nvidia(probobly a 6600GT) I have an ASUS A7N8X-E that I will be using. It comes with everything you'll need and it's only about 55$. 2. Last but not least, more RAM and HD space. For only about 30$ more you can triple your HD space if you look for deals. Check out: www.techbargains.com. Or www.dealnews.com for all the good daily deals. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
