i'm not sure if your system will be able to handle Myth <snicker>

ok, ok.  actually, if you search through the archives of the list
you'll see that a lot of ppl want to know what a machines specs should
be before building a MythBox.  your machine is way overkill if you're
planning on using it for a dedicated MythBox.  especially with the
PVR-X50 cards.
if you don't have the hardware yet, save your money and buy a cheaper
system (or two systems).
