Hardware selection help
First time posting on here so please be kind, I want to put together a small (Matx size) PC to be used for MYTHTV, anyone care to give me pointers? What mobo/case/processor type to avoid, I apologize if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a way to search previous messages, btw I'm going to use Mandrake 9.1 so hopefully the hardware will be compatible with OS
Thanks again

As one who uses Mandeake 9.1 I say use whatever you want.
Just make sure to have enuff power to do the job.
And there is a way to search the list arcives, I just don't rember off hand.
The big question is how small you want?
You major problem will be the capture card, unless you get something
small with more power and a USB capture card, but then bandwith becomes
an issue. Just rember, no rush, MythTV will only get better with time.

I want a case the size of a VCR or maybe slightly bigger, I'm gonna have it on top of the Entr. center As one who uses Mandeake 9.1 I say use whatever you want.
