    Video type: SDTV and (I hope) HDTV
    Type of system: Backend
    Noise level: With 4 fans, 4 HDDs in it, it's LOUD :lol: However, it's in a rack in the basement...
    CASE: Generic 19" Rackmount
    PSU: Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W
    MOTHERBOARD: MSI MS-6580 ver 5 (It's a backend!)
    CPU: 2.0 Ghz Celeron (It's a backend!)
    RAM: 512Mb DDR266
    CPU HEATSINK: Stock Intel
    NORTHBRIDGE HEATSINK: None
    CD/DVD-RW: Generic CD-ROM drive
    HDD: 1 - WD200EB (20Gb - OS), 2 - ST3250823AS (1 mounted as /myth, other in LVM), 1 - ST3400832AS (in LVM with other ST3250823AS)
    GRAPHICS CARD: GeForce MX2 something or other... (Stop laughing, it's a backend!)
    SOUNDCARD: Onboard something or other...
    TUNER CARD: PVR-350, PVR-150 1045, Fusion HDTV5 RT Lite
    REMOTE CONTROL: None

I say "I hope" on the HDTV because I know the Fusion card works, I just haven't configured a frontend that can play HDTV reliably. Went to 512Mb RAM from 256Mb because I found it was swapping. Have an additional system in the rack that serves the media (videos, music, pictures) via NFS, and I rsync those files to this backend (on the LVM). Loaded up Knoppmyth, added .20, about 1 hour configuration time for the settings to be "just right" (c'mon, are they ever "just right"?), and viola! The ladies in the house love it!

Will post the frontend(s) as they come online...

All in all I would have to say this Myth project has been "entertaining" :wink:

I would like to thank Cecil and Dale for their continuing efforts on Knoppmyth, as well as a big thanks to all the helpful people on this board - Couldn't have done this without all of you!
