*Memory:* Samsung PC3200 (1 GB kit) (2) 512mb DDR à $106 1 GB is actually an overkill. I have a combined front/backend with 512 MB RAM and I use it as Myth, SQL server, testing webserver, DNS, and for two remote users running X Window applications, and as a firewall and router. *Capture/TV Tuner:* Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 à $90 This card includes a good remote. PVR-150 also includes a good remote and it is cheaper than PVR-250. I have it. It works just fine with Myth. *AGP Video Card: *Gigabit ATI 9600 Pro w/ 128mb (S-Video Out & DVI out) à $74 Overkill. NVIdia MX400 is good enough and it has a passive cooler. Active cooler adds a lot of noise. *Sound:* SoundBlaster Audigy II 24bit 6.1 channels à In Stock If you insist, but AC97 integrated on motherboard is perfectly adequate. *Remote:* RadioShack 15-2116 universal remote à $49 Not needed. See above. In my opinion you could save some money and get a larger hard disk instead. -- Milos Prudek http://www.spoxdesign.com - your web usability testing ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Case: Cooler Master CAV-To4-UWC w/ 350 watt P/S w/ (2) 60mm & (1) 80mm Fans à $109 I recently bought a CAV-T04-UKC from http://www.chiefvalue.com/app/index.asp?store=7 for $99. The fans are noisier than my wife liked in the bedroom so I just went out and bought replacements YMMV Memory: Samsung PC3200 (1 GB kit) (2) 512mb DDR à $106 Check ChiefValue's memory prices also. I picked up two 1gb sticks for $162 total. It's overkill but I wanted to max out the memory. They seemed to have good prices on the stuff I was looking at ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
