Hi, I'm planning on building my first mythTV box. Before I order the parts I wanted to just to check if these would work... WinTV pvr-350 Pc Chips M863G Motherboard AMD Athlon 2000+ 256mb DDR333 (should I get more?) 80 gig harddrive (how much video will this capture?) EDIT: and a wifi card which I already own, the D-Link DWL-G520. Revision B Which I'm pretty sure is linux supported. All for: $409.94 The winTV card its self is around $170 with shipping. ***Am i getting ripped off on this or not?*** One last question. This box will be for my parents. As long as it can all be done by a remote I think they will be fine. If this is too complicated, perhaps should I get a 40hr tivo instead? |

You don't need more RAM. The only thing I'd be worried about is the motherboard. Does it have a Via chipset? |

I'd be worried about anything with the pcchips name on it no matter what chipset it uses, but knowing pcchips more than likely sis. |

its a sis chipset. I don't like pcchips either, however, I'm trying to build it cheaply. |
