Hello all
I want to start building a mythtv box for my entertainment system, as this system looks kick ass, and if anyone has suggestions as to the rest of the hardware i need that would be great, as i want to run into minimal problems with linux compatibility as I haven't used linux much, but hoping to learn more thru this process!
I want a case size that will fit into one of my entertainment slots, so no bigger than a 5 disc cd changer... and I want it to replace my video recorder, so it had to has a tv out. My TV is a 40"+ sony trinitron with s-video in. My cable provider is comcast.
So far I have...
Western Digital SE 120MB 8MB HD
Hauppauge PVR250 Card
I need...
graphics card
cpu
case
motherboard (integrated sound/nic)
dvd rom
keyboard/mouse separate/combo? suggestions?
All comments appreciated. I want to mail order the rest this week, so if you know of fatwallet style bargains for the rest of this crap don't hesitate to mention!! :)
thanks
ian
