I think so, yes. Also, I cannot find the names right now but there was a company I bought some from for a project at my last job. If I can find the company again they had something like 3000 standard designs. I'm sure one would work well enough, but even a blank panel that ataches correctly and I j

Just an fyi, I had little trouble fitting a pvr-150 and air2pc into my original pundit. I doubt the chassis is very different from the -r model. It just took a little fidgeting and prying outward of the chassis (no permanent bending/cutting/etc). -Chris __

Oh! Ok - I see the thread that Joseph pointed me to is actually you! Good photos showing the problem. I don't want to go to this level of difficulty. Additionally I've been a bit worried about multiple PVRs in a Pundit-R chassis and what that might mean for heat/reliability. Has that worked for yo

May I ask - did you find a good tuner to fit this chassis? I'm the one that voided his warranty, so I guess that's a qualified "yes". ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I wonder if they supply a normal mounting bracket somehow? They didn't in the one that I purchased (and returned). To fabricate one you'd need to able to cut the holes in the right places for the connectors. May be more than you're willing to do.

The Pundit-R already has the riser card so the PVRs are parallel to the motherboard. The 150 low profile looks like a very reasonable solution. Not, I think, as well tested as the other PVR cards but worth a shot. The 150-LP has a low profile PCI bracket, so you're not going to be able to secu

Well, one solution is the low profile PVR-150. Another would be to get a PCI riser card that puts the card parallel to the motherboard. Mark Knecht wrote: Hi, I'm wondering if I've just hit a bit of bad luck here. I have, up until now, been using the Pundit-R as a frontend only machine. I ju
