Hello all,<br>
<br>
Been mulling on the MythTV setup for my parents for a few months now - I've taken on board advice to separate the back-end and the front-end so I'm looking to build a nice quiet front-end capable of playing silky smooth video. The back-end will have Hauppaugue DVB-T capture cards. My parents' LCD TV only have a S-Video input, no composite, no VGA.<br>
<br>
I've got a Silverstone LC04 case & PSU however the PSU is pretty old and a little flaky. After researching the MythTV wiki, I have come up with the following hardware list - I'm hoping you could advice me whether this fits the requirements well.<br>
<br>
* Dell Optiplex 760 Desktop with Core 2 Duo 3GHz & 2GB RAM (e.g. <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191197846732" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/<u></u>191197846732</a> )<br>
* GeForce 8400 with S-Video out and VDPAU support ( e.g. <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281126445741" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/<u></u>281126445741</a> )<br>
* Cheap SSD drive (e.g. <a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/261748" target="_blank">http://www.ebuyer.com/261748</a> )<br>
* Controlled via MythMobile on iPad (already have)<br>
<br>
Total cost £110-£120 ($190-$200)<br>
<br>
Am I on the right track, or would there be better options? Also, would a GeForce GT610 with a VGA-S-Video adapter be a better bet?<br>
<br>
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Regards - Piers<br>
