<div id="RTEContent">Hello,<br> <br> I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to hardware, as I am getting a little overwhelmed with all the choices. I run FreeBSD and XP at home, but haven't used Linux in a long time.<br> <br> Here are my needs:<br> <br> - I want to use the Silverstone LC11M case,<br> - I will probably use KnoppMyth as it seems the easiest<br> - am worried about fan noise,<br> - will be using MAME and bittorrent more than actual encoding<br> - but want one capture card with the option of having two at some point,<br> - am not worried about money necessarily (if something costs 100$ more and is THAT much better, fine)<br> <br> For a mobo, I was looking at<br> BIOSTAR TForce6100-939<br> but it seems that is very problematic with Linux drivers?<br> <br> Another direction I was considering
would be to use a mobile Pentium or Celeron. Is this common?<br> <br> I assumed my first capture card would be a Hauppauge PVR-x50.<br> <br> What mobo+cpu combos run the coolest and are least problematic driver wise? <br> GPU wise, sounds like nVIDIA is the only way to go, correct?<br> <br> <br> </div><p>
