I just joined this list, as I very recently discovered MythTV. I have never built a computer my self. My experience is limited to upgrades (new hard drive here, more ram there), very basic. I would like to try to build one of these and I hope this is the right channel to get some advice. Here is what I have put together on newegg.com, based on the research I have so far:

REFURBISHED: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 PCI Interface Video Recorder, TV/FM Tuner Card - OEM
Model #:  990 $127.00

pqi POWER Series 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model MD4412UOE - Retail
Model #:  MD4412UOE $40.25

Western Digital Caviar SE WD2000JD 200GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM
Model #:  WD2000JD $98.00

nMEDIAPC HTPC 100 B775 Socket T(LGA775) Intel Pentium 4/Celeron INTEL 915G Computer Case - Retail
Model #:  HTPC 100 B775 $265.00

I am starting with a bare-bones system, seems that would save a good deal of work and I have a dvd-burner in my compaq presario that I think might work. If not, it may just be a later upgrade once I get going.

Thanks for any advice.
