[mythtv-users] suggested hardware?

[Dan Conti]

As a reference here, i have a coolermaster 610 and an athlon xp 1800. No
case fans, a quiet PS, and a zalman flower cooler with the fan set to the
lowest speed on the cpu. I've never had any problems, the cpu temp stays in
the 40's.

It is hard to get proper airflow though, since there is no space for a front
fan, the power supply sits upside down (so a dual fan PS is useless), and
the rear case isn't in the most useful of spots. But if you dont go with the
fastest cpu and dont buy hot running drives, you should be fine.

Any of the Cooler Masters here would work great...
I'm pretty sure they use standard power supplies. You can put any Athlon
or P4 MicroATX motherboard in there and use up to 3 tuners (most
MicroATX motherboards have 3 pci slots or less)

Just don't get something too hot, the case cooling doesn't seem to be
too good - only average.
