Introduction
I have been watching the development of MythTV from the sideline for a few years every now and then and have finally decided to put together my own HTPC. Below you can find the specs of my system (being build).
My HTPC system
Case
I just ordered the OrigenAE X15e case for my HTPC system, which will be using MythTV. To match with my other audio devices I ordered a silver one (it is also available in black). As I do not like to have my TV on all the time when selecting a radio station or other audio to listen to I really like the build in TFT screen in this case. The case is made of high quality bezzeled aluminium and the current version (V2) can hold up to a maximum of 4 harddrives, one optical drive and a card reader at the same time. The case is a bit high but this allows for the use of normal PC cards to be used upright. For more information have a look at the OrigenAE website.

Tuner
I am thinking of using the Hauppauge PVR-500 tuner, as this tuner has two tuners and a FM tuner and also has the ability to do hardware MPEG encoding which will save some CPU use.
