and you live in a cheap country...

EPIA board 1500 NOK
external power supply  (imported) 1100 NOK (I know crazy...)
160 Go hard disk 1500 NOK
512 RAM 600 NOK
case free (Denon DVD player)
slim CDROM (free / got stolen a laptop some years ago)
Tuner PVR350 1600 NOK
Wireless USB 250 NOK
external power supply for development purposes 400 NOK
cables 100 NOK
PCI riser 200 NOK

Total over 7000 NOK (and I don't even have a DVD player...)

time > 100h... (counting specs, selecting componants, ordering from
various places, going to shops, building the case, etc...)

And it still doesn't work...

Now I need to get a serial cable...
