[mythtv-users] Hardware "Survey" (Pundit-R)

[Mark L. Cukier]

Hello to All:

I'm in the process of setting up mythtv on my current computer. I've 
allready ordered the PVR-350.

I was initially going to be reasonable and set everything up on my 
desktop to make sure it was working before I went out and splurged on a 
new dedicate system. BUT... in the process of setup, reading, etc I've 
gotten myself too excited about all the awesome features of myth (I'm 
currently an avid TiVo user/fan.. but this story has convinced me it's 
time to eBay the TiVo and move to Myth: 
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2026&e=1&u=/latimests/tivowillnolongerskippastadvertisers 
) . To heck with reasonable, I'm going to splurge.

I have my eyes on the Pundit-R... I heard someone comment that the 
PVR-250 "barely" fit into their pundit system. I noticed the 350 is a 
bit longer! Does anyone here have a Pundit-R with a 350? I'm just 
looking for confirmation that it will fit before I order the case.

I'd also be interested to hear any other recomendations for a sleek, 
small case (with two PCI slots)-- or any other hardware recomendations. 
I heard this site was a good place to go for hardware setups  
http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-pvrhwdb.php .... but it doesn't seem to work!

Thanks in Advance,
   Mark
