[mythtv-users] newbie setup questions

[subscriptions]

Hello all 

I want to start building a mythtv box for my entertainment system, as this system looks kick ass, and if anyone has suggestions as to the rest of the hardware i need that would be great, as i want to run into minimal problems with linux compatibility as I haven't used linux much, but hoping to learn more thru this process! 

I want a case size that will fit into one of my entertainment slots, so no bigger than a 5 disc cd changer... and I want it to replace my video recorder, so it had to has a tv out. My TV is a 40"+ sony trinitron with s-video in. My cable provider is comcast. 

So far I have... 

Western Digital SE 120MB 8MB HD 
Hauppauge PVR250 Card 

I need... 

graphics card 
cpu 
case 
motherboard (integrated sound/nic) 
dvd rom 
keyboard/mouse separate/combo? suggestions? 

All comments appreciated. I want to mail order the rest this week, so if you know of fatwallet style bargains for the rest of this crap don't hesitate to mention!! :) 

thanks 

ian
