Hey guys,
it's time for new box (again). Below are the hardwares I am looking at. Please give me some feed backs.

- FOXCONN "NF4UK8AA-8EKRS" NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU

- Thermaltake W0014 Silent Purepower 480W with Black housing - Xaser Edition ATX 2-Fan Power Supply

- AMD Athlon 64 3500+, Socket 939, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor - OEM

- XFX nVIDIA GeForce 6200 Video Card with Turbo Cache supporting 128MB*, DVI/TV-Out, PCI-Express, Model "PVT44PKA"

I plan to have the box run off a 20GB boot HD and the /myth directory is on RAID5 + LVM over 5 200GB HDs. The MB has 4 PCI slots so I can fit all my tuner cards on there. I am not too sure about the video card since it'll be first time for me to use PCI-E and the NV's "turbocache". The box will sit in my living room acting as BE/FE.

Any inputs? suggestions? Nforce4 chipset too bleeding edge?

Just an update:

Cesman said that currently PCI-E is not compiled into the kernel thus not supported, but it will.
