Hey, The hardware refresh I bought last weekend can easily achieve this and wasn't that expensive. I installed Mythbuntu 8.04 beta. Except for my unique hardware problems[1] the process was pretty easy. It may be a little overpowered for just myth, but it also runs mysql-server, apache2, and a bunch of vms. AMD Phenom 9600 'black edition' Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (AMD 780G chipset - has onboard ATI HD3200 w/UVD) 4GB DDR2 800 (2x2GB kit) 3x750GB SATAII WD 'green edition' LG OEM SATA DL DVD-RW Total cost was (just) under a grand. I already had: Antec 4U22 Case, Thermaltake 430W PSU, Kworld DVB-T 100 Tuner, 4x400GB Samsung SATAII HDD, RocketRaid 1740 4 Port SATAII PCI card. cheers, Owen. [1] My RocketRaid 174x drivers won't compile past 2.6.22 7.10's stock kernel won't detect my brand new hardware. 8.04's stock kernel is too new for my raid card drivers. So I had to either install then downgrade, or build a custom 7.10 install disk or install on other hardware, update and then move the hdd back. -- > Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 > The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono > The more you know the less you need to say. - Jim Rohn > http://outcampaign.org/ > > > -- > > ubuntu-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au >
