[mythtvnz] The Plan... version 2

[Phillip Baird]

Hi all,

Here's the plan for my first MythTv box.  Thanks to all those who have 
helped me reshape my initial ideas - some of which were way off base.

If anyone knows of "gotchas" with the following setup I'd really 
appreciate your comments.

Case: SILVERSTONE LASCALA SST-LC17
Motherboard: Intel DP35DPM    BOXDP35DPM
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Disk: Seagate Barracuda 11 3.5 500GB SATA 7200RPM
DVD-RW: ASUS DRW-1814BLT SATA 18x DVD
Memory:    Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 800MHz DDR2 non-ECC
Graphics: GIGABYTE NX73G256D-RH GeForce 7300 GS PCI-EX 16 256MB GDDR2
Network Adapter: LINKSYS WMP54G 54Mb Wireless-G PCI
Sat Card: Technisat Skystar 2
Remote: MS MCE Remote Control for WXP MCE with Infrared Receiver A9O-00001
OS: Mythbuntu 7.10

Some notes for reference/context:
- Am only after Freeview channel support initially, so have dropped 
PVR-150 from the list - wife imposed budget constaint.
- P35 chipset is known to have some issues.  From what I can see these 
seem to be related to non-Intel boards.  Going SATA for all drives 
include DVD seems to avoid some of the issues.  The Intel board does 
have a problem with the on-baord on-board NIC not working correctly.  I 
have to go wireless at this point anyway so this isn't an issue for me.

cheers
