[mythtv-users] Anyone using MSI Metis 266?

[Dane Kantner]

i'm trying to spec out hardware to buy to make a myth PC... I was looking at getting MSI's metis 266 ...and a PVR 250 or something...

is anyone using this system?  I remember seeing someone posting about it but never really heard how they liked it if they ended up getting it...

http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1350 has a review of it (sells for ~110-125)... i'd be open to other suggestions on small-appliance like boxes, but nothing overly priced... for $110 this includes motherboard, case, power supply... i'm not sure of a lot of other things that are as cheap. (i've looked at the small shuttle boxes and a few like that?).  the only way i might save on one of those is finding one thats cheap that has a good enough built in video w/ tv out that i dont have to buy a sep card  (though with the MSI, i was thinking about getting a scan convertor instead of a new card w/ TV out... i've heard that this would be higher quality in the end... any truth/logic to that?)
