<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281102111-04112006>I have been playing
with MythTV for a while and would now like to move the backend
to a 'production' build. So before committing my hard earned cash and
decreasing spare time to poorly speced machine and nightmare build, I
thought best ask the experts! </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281102111-04112006>I intend to run
a backend only on Fedora Core 5 or 6, there will be 4 pci capture
devices (2 x DVB-t and 2 x PVR-150's), initially there will be three hard drives
(250GB each, 2 x SATA and 1 x PATA) configured with software raid 5 - although
this may expand so more than two SATA ports would be good.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281102111-04112006>I am really not
bothered about Intel V's AMD from processor perspective or 32bit V's 64bit, just
a working system at the end!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281102111-04112006>So does anyone have
a similar set up and can advise on hardware?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=281102111-04112006>Cheers in
advance.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
