# Video type: HDTV & SDTV # Type of system: Combined front and backend # Noise level: Nearly inaudilbe # CASE: Antec Sonata II # PSU: 450Watt SmartPower 2.0 (Shipped with case) # MOTHERBOARD: ASUS A8N5X # CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Venice (Socket 939) # RAM: Crucial 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin PC3200 # CPU HEATSINK: Zalman CNPS7700-ALCU # NORTHBRIDGE HEATSINK: Stock w/fan # CD/DVD-RW: ASUS 16X DVD±R DVD DRW-1612BL-BK # HDD: 400GB 16MB UDMA/100 # GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS EN7300LE/HTD/128M GeForce LE PCI-E 128MB # SOUNDCARD: Onboard # TUNER CARD: PVR-350 # REMOTE CONTROL: PVR-350 Remote Additional Cooling: Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D 120mm Case Fan Display: LG LC2D 42" Widescreen HD LCD The auto install for a backend/frontend worked perfectly. I've still got to tweak the modeline I'm using a bit to shift the image it to the right about half an inch, but the picture is spectacular. I'm connected from the NVIDIA VGA to the TV's VGA connector at 1360x780 resolution. The display's native resolution is 1366x780, so it's just about perfect. I've got this sitting right next to the TV, and the only thing audible is the slight whir of the hard drive, and of course the DVD drive, which is also extremely quiet, which is a huge step up from the Xbox 360 I've been using to play DVDs. The motherboard is also very nice, as it has PCI-X for video, SATA and PATA drive connectors, on-board sound with optical out, and 3 PCI slots. All in all, I am extremely pleased with KnoppMyth, so kudos to the devs and the MythTV devs. |
