Hi Timothy,

I'm new to Myth too.  Just set one up completely, and with invaluable 
help from the kind folks on this list.

I'm also contemplating expanding my MythTV setup across the house, and 
here are my preliminary (untested) thoughts that I'd share with the 
folks here for commentary:

* old PIII-based system, 512MB RAM, large USB Lacie HDD
* a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 w/ TV-Out (to a regular TV via S-video)
or
* a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 (no TV-Out) to a 21" monitor + a decent 
graphics card

Steve
