| Post subject: | Need low end analog hardware recommendations |
First Post Warning. Experienced in Linux, but never built a custom case. I'm upgrading a 266MHZ network server, and want small size, low noise and high reliability. I looked at the Dell Dimension C521 and HP Pavillion Slimline, but when I saw that 4-year support doubled the price (Heck - I could buy 2 systems for $1000) I started to think of building a system from scratch, and maintaining the hardware myself. I'd really like to add analog DVR capability while I'm at it. I expect to control it via remote connections (X-Windows) and will probably watch my recorded TV shows from a laptop on my home network. There are a zillion choices I suppose I am looking for a minimum MythTV functionality hardware setup with reliable components. I'd like Firewire (access to some existing external disks). Any suggestions? I don't want High Definition. |

I have. The only reference KRP platform is more than $1000 (Dragon). There are more than a hundred combos listed in Tier1, and few give the price. I was trying to avoid spending hours trying to find a low-cost package. I've been looking at the LX8100-AM2BB-M2NPV http://www.lixsystems.net/lix/index.htm That may be the way for me to go. |
