save a couple bucks and get the Hauppage PVR-150 or PVR-500 (two tuners) instead of the PVR-350. since you're only building a backend the 350 provides nothing extra. you can probably do with onboard video or a cheapy video card since this is only a backend; unless you're planning to use it for video editing or something. if it's just going to be a standalone backend video isn't neccessary. saving money on the parts you don't need may allow you to purchase a larger hard drive. ;) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
