Ok, i seem to be the first to undertake this project, but oh well.
I have a tivo which apparently i stupidly subbed for a year ago, i had a
series 1 version 1.3, no sub to record, but my wife wanted to have the
guide data, so i gave in. But we recently got rid of our land line for
just our cell phones. I was spending 35 dollars a month just so tivo
could dial out. So i knew that i could record manually before, but now
i can't. Basically tivo said too bad. And i've been unable to find a
SVR 2000 1.3 image out there. Anyways,
i'm looking to remove the hardware from the box, my wife likes the look
and size, and putting in mythtv hardware. I figure a mini-itx will fit,
i measured it, will be tight going left to right, the fan there might
just be in the way, perhaps not. So i've come across some mini itx's
that have TV-out, lan, sound, would just add a hauppage pvr 250 using a
pci riser and would prolly have to cut some of my own holes, but it's in
the back should be a big deal, plus they already cut holes, would just
have to modify theirs.
Anyways, i was wondering if anyone has one of these mini-itx boards with
integrated everything and if it works with mythtv well. The one problem
i see is the power supply. Anyone know what wattage i would need to run
one of these mini's and the pvr 250, and a small size, it has to fit
between the back of the tivo and the harddrives. Would have to cut a
bigger hole for the cable and make a few holes for the fan. I mean if i
don't have to buy a case, harddrives and such, i just want to use the
case. I dont need a cdrom except to install. etc. Any help would be
appreciated.
