[mythtv-users] revcommended hardware setup question

[DaveD]

If you have lots of $$ to spend, I would look into 
http://www.vidabox.com/.  Talk about pre-configured.  Unfortunately, 
they are Windohs, but their hardware looks pretty cool; cases made out 
of heat sinks and completely fanless for silent operation.  I would be 
interested if anyone has done a dual boot with one of these things and 
Mythified it.

On a bit of a side note, has anyone successfully dual booted a Vista 
machine yet?  But I digress....

If you have cable, you'll want to be sure to get a tuner that can handle 
QAM for digital broadcasts and I didn't see any mention of that at the 
Vidabox web site, but I'm betting they will do it.

They also come with HDDVD and/or BlueRay DVD readers.  A couple of them 
even come with one of each!  $$$$$$, but should be ready to just plug 
in.  Something to be said for that.
