[mythtv-users] Hardware Specs

[Rob Ogle]

OK gang, I've read through the past few month's archives and I'm *almost* as
lost on what hardware to go with as I was before I started. Although I did
pick up a few good tid-bits. I'm very glad to see that the list so active. 

Down to the nitty-gritty...before I start purchasing stuff I'd like to run
my hardware specs by the masses because I'm sure I've missed something along
the way. My initial setup will be to have one back-end system and one
front-end system. Once I've got that running smoothly, I'll probably add two
more front-end systems into the mix.

Back-End System:
Ubuntu 6.0
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 (for Picture in Picture or multi-show records)
GIGABYTE GA-8I945GZME-RH LGA775 INTEL 945 CORE 2 DUO DUAL DDRII
Intel Pentium D 920 2.80GHz 2x2MB L2 800 MHz LGA775 Dual-Core
Kingston 1GB DDR2 533MHz
WD SE 400GB SATA RAID HD 8.9MS 16MB 7200RPM
eVGA 256-P2-N356-LX Geforce 6500 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express
SONY DVDRW DWG120A 16x16x Dual Layer (so I can burn records off for later
viewing)
Integrated Digital Audio
RaidMax MILLANO MID Tower Case 420W PS
Integrated 10/100 Mbp

Front-End System:
Ubuntu 6.0
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150
DELL Optiplex 210L (Celeron D 2660)
40GB SATAII
256MB RAM
