Hey Dan, The motherboard is an Asus A7N8X-VM/400. I picked up the s-video/composite add-on for it. I'm using the on-board video and sound. The processor is an AMD 2600XP(Barton). That may be a little overkill. I'm using an Artic Cooling heatsink/fan. It's damn quiet as well. I don't remember the exact model. The tuner is a PVR-250. It's the only card in the machine.
I am walking the line on heat. The powersupply fan doesn't move enough air. There is a fan that came with the case, but it's loud. If I leave it disconnected, the machine will sometimes overheat and shutdown. I'm planning on replacing it with a larger diameter, slower and quieter fan. A slower cooler CPU would have probably been a better choice. Good luck, Ken On Fri, 04 Mar 2005 23:12:03 -0500, Daniel Wellman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ken, > > What motherboard, chip, and TV encoder did you end up using for this box? > > I'm also sitting on the line here deciding what to build -- I need to build > a front end/back end combo for space reasons, and would sure love to make > this as quiet as possible for my studio apartment. > > I can highly recommend the Zalman CPNS-7000A-Cu heatsink for 'bigger' > machines -- so quiet I didn't know it was on when I first turned on the > machine! > Thanks, > Dan > > > Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2005 11:15:08 -0500 > From: Ken Mink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] the ultimate setup > To: Sarah Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Discussion about mythtv > <mythtv-users@mythtv.org> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > > I went with a FE/BE combo that would sit in my entertainment center.
