Skip the maxtor and get a seagate barracuda V. It's the quietest drive
available and has fairly good performance. There are benchmarks for this
sort of stuff at www.storagereview.com. It's worth your time to look into
quieter CPU fans, case fans, and power supplies, especially if the box is
going to be on all the time.

Hello all,

I've been using Showshifter for 6 months now but would like to try MythTV.

I was going to build a new showshifter machine and now I want to make
sure that I'm taking MythTV into account when deciding system specs

I want to use dual TV cards and from what I've read the Hauppauge 401 is
the one.

So what would you recommend?

Below is what I have planned can you see any problems?

2400+ AMD XP Processor?
ASUS A7N8X MB?
1GB Samsung 2700 DDRRam?
ATI 9000 Radeon 64mb w/TV out Video Card?
2 Hauppauge 401 cards
120GB Maxtor 5400 (for noise reasons)
Onboard LAN
Onboard sound
Distro Redhat 8.0 or Gentoo
I want to be able to use MythTV to its fullest

Thanks

Brad
