Hallo.
I'd go with the faster drive. There could be more heat and more
power draw, but it will make sure that you won't have any issues
later down the line if you add extra tuners, etc.
And everyone has a war story about a different brand of hard drive.
Get one with at least a 3 year
True, but I think that I can probably figure out another way to do
this until mouse support is native to Myth. In any case, I think
I'll be able to find some other box that can sit behind the T.V.
Thanks anyway everyone!

Install any sort of OS with a Web Browser (pick one with driver
support for
your screen). Then look at something called MythWifi.

I'm eyeing an old Macintosh 512K as the box for my MythTV computer.
I would want to replace the internal CRT display with a touchscreen.
This way, MythTV's control functions are always visible but the video
can be sent to the main TV for games, DVDs, TV, etc.
I hope that makes sense-- a
You're right, most touch screens do use mice via serial... but if Myth doesn't support a mouse, how do you choose what to do? And how does LIRC work if not by emulating a mouse?Thanks for the new insight,BrandonOn Nov 22, 2005, at 4:25 PM, Devan Lippman wrote: On 11/22/05, Brandon Sherman [EMAIL
Well... that sucks. Old Macs are pretty cool looking and fit in
nicely... guess it is off to find another screenless box then.
Thanks for the explanations and help anywhoo,

Well, if you don't care about your videos, RAID 0 will go the
fastest. For the best price/speed/integrity, a RAID 5 array will
work best.

Hello,
I'd think that a slightly faster processor may be a good idea. Since
you are using a Socket A board, it isn't too hard to buy a ~$60 1.8
GHz Sempron or something that would probably help a fair bit. Also,
if you have the option of a SATA hard drive, that will be easier to
work
Hullo,
In my continuing plot to create a MythTV box out of an old laptop, I
am now eyeing the hard drive. It is a standard 2.5 drive of unknown
speed (I'd guess 5400, no more) and 40GB of space. I'm looking at
one of these: http://oss.wischip.com/ Which can give me MPEG-2,
MPEG-4, and
Interesting...
So, a USB 2.0 card (would also allow a card reader to work for
photos, etc.) and the Plextor?
MythTV supports the Plextor out of the box...so to speak. One
limitation I've found is that although the unit can natively encode
mpeg2, MythTV only supports mpeg4 on the Plextor.
Hello everybody,
I'm eyeing an old laptop to use as a MythTV box, but without PCI
slots, I need a PCMCIA card. I found this one: http://
