[mythtvnz] Hardware questions

[matthew pearce]

Hi all.

I have found this on Pb technologies and wondered if anybody had any
good reasons not to use it for Mythtv.

EX-LEASED IBM Netvista 8188 P4 3.2 512MB, 40GB, DVD combo, XP Pro

PB Everyday low Price: $265.47 +gst ($298.66 incl)

I have a 120 Gb hard drive which I would swap into it instead of the
40 gb. (although the list says even this is way too small, it should
do for the time being.)

I was wondering if this box would have enough grunt to be a combined
backend/frontend and be suitable for HD use in the future.

Also if this is a reasonable price.

I think (hope) it has an AGP slot in it and one PCI slot.

one last Q:
Does the Hauppauge PVR-3000 combined DVB-S and analog card have good
mythtv support?

thanks

Matthew
