[mythtv-users] suggested hardware?

[Chris Petersen]

ok, so I went with something completely different.  One of my bosses (I
work for siliconmechanics.com so we tend to get lots of interesting
hardware to play with) picked up a Pundit
<http://www.asus.com/products/desktop/pundit/overview.htm> to play with,
and I realized that it'd be a perfect box for Myth.   Anyway, I thought
I'd share my find with the rest of you, and am hoping that someone can
help me with some issues.

Anyway, the box itself is gorgeous - matches my Sony Wega perfectly.. 
extremely quiet (it'll be more so once I swap the maxtor drive I had
on-hand with a seagate barracuda IV), and the system seems pretty snappy
with a 2.0Ghz p4 celeron.

The video card (a SiS 315 chipset) is relatively new, though supposedly
supported in XFree86 4.3 (included with redhat 9). (having a bit of
trouble getting it to run with just the tv-out, but I'm sure I'll figure
that out)...

Anyway, once I get all that running, I'm going to give Myth a try.  And
if I can get it working properly, I plan to make a small MythOS distro
(or at least package up some nice RPM's)...
