[mythtv-users] need hardware advice

[travis]

Thanks for the response. I hope this thread isn't confusing, since
there is another with the exact same subject (posted right after mind,
weird).

Is this the motherboard?

When you say everything i need, (this is probably a stupid question)
does that include a processor? Also, I'll have to get another video
card?

Also, how do a find a case that know that this will fit in it?

Thanks for the links, I'll keep my eye on them. A good website I found
for local deals is www.salescircular.com (fyi).

Thanks again!

I'm new to myth myself, and like you am getting all my hardware
togeather.  Your hardware list is'nt bad but here are a few
sugestions.
1. Get a motherboard and a seperate video card.
   I say this only because you'll be sharing your RAM with your
onboard video(9100 IGP) which will reduce your total RAM by anywhere
from 64-256MB depending on how much you allocate.

1.b. DONT USE ATI!!!!  I really liked ATI before my switch to linux
bit Nvidia just seems to have more support.  I have a 9800PRO and will
be swapping that for something Nvidia(probobly a 6600GT)
   I have an ASUS A7N8X-E that I will be using.  It comes with
everything you'll need and it's only about 55$.
2. Last but not least, more RAM and HD space.  For only about 30$ more
you can triple your HD space if you look for deals.  Check out:

for all the good daily deals.
