[mythtv-users] Introduction

[Simon at the Threshold]

My mythtv system consists of:-

	AMD Athlon 2400+
	1gig of memory
	GeForce MX440 AGPx8 graphics
	80gig SATA drive
	
	Myth-tv upgrade;-
	120gig ATA-100 drive
	2xNova-T (DVB-T) cards

I run the box as a web and an email server (5 virtual domains) over 
broadband using Fedora Core 1. It has two users (myself and girlfriend) 
so two virtual screens (so two copies of openoffice, mozilla etc.) she 
also uses a vmware session running windoze 2000. Oh and it also runs the 
living room mythtv setup on the tv-out.. <Chuckle>..

It cost me a tad under 400 UKP to setup (Already had a massive monitor 
and keyboards are cheap). At the time Scan Computers was the cheapest 
(http://www.scan.co.uk) and there support was pretty good as well. I had 
one main problem after I built it and that was it locked up on a regular 
basis.. After upgrading the motherboard bios this problem has gone away.

Current uptime is 20 days.. (powercut otherwise it would be 60 days )..

All about "Bang for Buck", very cheap to buy thus it will be very cheap 
to replace. Since my COGS (Cost of goods) is very low I have no complants..


Regards
Simon
