I have selected the following to build a HD mythtv system. It will be ATSC only. My P4-2.4GHz system was just OK (stutters when the OSD is showing), but not really perfect and made too much of a high pitched sound for my wife so I have tried to pick out quiet components. The barebone system was recommended on this list and I have filled it with the max of what it can take, I think. Before I buy it, I would appreciate someone checking it over and letting me know if I have made some dumb mistake or even if there is a little recommendation for an improvement. I bought an air2pc card on ebay and will be using that as a start. I want to make sure I have plenty of CPU power as if I don't, I just bought an expensive paper weight.<br>
<br>The goal is a system to use with a 720p projector or an SVideo TV (one at a time). The TV is analog stereo and when using the projector I need 5.1 SPDIF.<br><br>ASUS P1-AH2 AMD Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 2 x 240Pin GeForce 6150 Barebone - Retail<br>
