Post subject:  Advice on PVR hardware

I am buidling a PVR from scratch, and I need some advice on the hardware that I will be buying. I have built computers before, but never a PVR. Could somebody here please give a quick look through my hardware and give a couple suggestions.

Looks pretty sane to me too. Make sure that the keyboard/mpouse aren't USB and the harddrive isn't SATA and you should be pretty vanilla. You may need to get the latest Nvidia drivers to support your video card however... Search the forum for "8178" for details.
