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 OpenBox for 50 bucks!

• Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2
• TV Capture Card: KWorld ATSC-110
