I'd like to build my own mythtv box from following hw (plan to purchase):
MB & CPU: VIA Epia M10000 or MII 12000
RAM: 256MB
HDD: 2,5" 4200RPM ~40GB or 3,5"
TV: PVR-250 (or PVR-350)?

I'm building a Myth box using an MII-10k right now, and I must say that it has
been pretty hard.

For a quick overview of what I've found, look at this thread:

**One special note on your possible setup: I've heard reports that the MII-12k
is actually much, much worse at video playback than the 10k.  So, I would
suggest saving a few $$ and buying the 10k instead.**
