My MythBOX Project
My intention with this page is just tell my journey building my MythBox.
I have been using MythTv for a few months now, and I decide (let's be Honest, I finally convince my Wife) to create a complete Media Center using MythTV. Any comments are more than welcome.
Hardware
Here's a List of the Hardware I'm planning to use
- Case: Athenatech A100SC.350
- I was planning to use a smaller case, but my TV Card requires a full height PCI Slot, thus I finish up picking this one. On the other hand, this Case has a 350W power supply (the other one have a 250W one)
- MB: Asus M2NPV-VM
- Searching MB I Found this one that look to me as a good fit for MythTV. It has TV Outputs (DVI/Component), Firewire port and can handle a Dual Core AMD. The embedded video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 6150. I got a good deal on this one, I found a Open Box for 50 bucks!
Note: This motherboard is very picky with the Memory, and will only accept a few specific vendors.
- Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2
- TV Capture Card: KWorld ATSC-110
- I was looking for a cheap Card and I found this one for $65 with a mail-in rebate of $15. Let's see how well it works
- This is not a Huge Drive, but i will use it as starting point. I will use EVMS for the MythTV Storage folder,thus i should be to add a additional HD if I need
- LCD Display: Nothing yet
- In the future I have plans to add a LCD display, but right now that represent another $100.
