I'm about to build my first MythTv box. 
 I have:

Pentium 4, 2.53Ghz
Abit Sr7-8x mobo
Nvidia GEforce 4 Mx440 64Meg w/tv out
512 Megs Ram
Several Drives available:
  Seagate 120Gb ata100
  Maxtor 120Gb ata133
  Maxtor 80Gb ata133
  Maxtor 160Gb ata133
    all r 7200 rpm, 
  Maxtor 60Gb ata133, 5400 rpm

Toshiba DVD/Cd
Sony CDRW

I'll be feeding from Cable and Dish Satellite.
I'd like to record 2 programs at once and watch livetv
but recording 2 programs at once is more important.
I currently mostly record from cable as I don't have a
cable box. 

I'd like to be able to take my ReplayTV and Tivo out
of my system rack and replace them with a Myth box
w/mp3-ogg support and picture viewer/slideshow.

1) Am I nutz think'n I might be able to accomplish
this
1) what else do I need
2) what TV cards would you buy and why. I'm leaning
towards the avermedia cards.

Oh, I have a Harmony Remote that should control all
this :)!! :???

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions,
 Todd
