Install went fairly well. Some issues with having to blacklist onboard video. Hardware Specs: Dell GX110 CPU - Pentium III 733mhz Motherboard � Intel 810e Chipset Socket 370 with integrated 3com 10/100 NIC RAM � 512MB (2x256) PC100 HDD � Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Video Card � JATON Video-208PCI-128TV GeForce MX4000 128MB DDR PCI with VGA and S-Video (using S-Video) Audio - Creative Labs PCI Sound Card CT5807 DVD-R � Sony Generic DVD-R Haupuage PVR-150 - iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) Svideo TV output to 32" SD TV Details - During the boot after the OS install wouldn't start X, I had to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 find the driver=i810 line and replace it with driver=nvidia . This was because was trying to use the onboard video rather that PCI MX4000. PVR-150 is simple to setup, I have the most basic cable package ($15/mo) from Comcast in Philadelphia, PA subs. I use the �Dog Bone� remote which is option F when configuring lirc. I used electric tape to affix the IR receiver inside the case where the floppy drive was and looks much better and picks up remote well.

I built this system for a friend of mine and his family. They use it for CD library import, home DVD backup, weather, and DVR functions. They are not technical at all but use it day to day fine and are happy with it. The case is pretty ugly and PS supply/CPU fans are a little loud. |
