Let's say you want to build a new HDTV ready (ATSC/US) MythTV system, microATX, front&back in one machine, wirelessly networked, money is not a big problem, which internal components would you choose? |

Knoppmyth Reference Platform It has everything but the wireless. If you have other questions after you look through that thread the search tool can be really helpful. |

I don't know. You asked for opinions on components, I gave you mine. No, it isn't mini ATX, but I'm not sure what mini ATX gains you as the ATSC cards are full height and will require a full size case (or you'll only be able to use maybe one card with some kind of riser system). |

I gotcha. mATX since it seemed like a more challenging question, and for aesthetics. Silverstone LC11M was the case I wanted to use, but it's not a big deal. |

I'm pretty happy with my system, even though it's not a small-form-factor motherboard. I have the Silverstone case loaded with three large hard drives (400/300/300) and three HDTV cards (2-HD3000, 1-HD2000). It has 1G of RAM and a 3GHz P4 w/HT. The keyboard/mouse is the LiteOn wireless unit (no longer sold) and I use a Home Theater Master programmable remote to emulate keystrokes so I bypassed the whole remote hassle. It also has a DVD-R drive for my future use as a DVD-changer (and for the day when I can recode my HDTV shows to DVD). I have a PVR-350 I could toss in, but I'm not interested in using its video output, and I find I don't care much about capturing non-HDTV. (I still have a Tivo doing backup duty.) |
