[mythtv-users] [OT] dell optiplex vs dimension for backend/frontend

[Roger Obando]

I'm running my myth box on a Dimension 8100 and it was a breeze to
install with Fedora.  The PVR350 works great with the ivtv drivers and
the video out can be worked out in not too much time...now if I could
only get the OSD to display on my TV-out I'd be set :)

Hi

I just read about the Dell deals on PCs without
Windows:

=04&l=en&s=bsd

and I want to get started building a combination
backend/frontend mythtv machine. Have people had
problems with compatibility with either of these
models and the PVR-350?

Is the Optiplex overkill, or will the Dimension
suffice?

Is it problematic having multiple hard drives?

Thanks

jh
