Well, I'm slowly gathering the pieces for a pvr. I've got two setups I'm looking at using. 1) Celeron 1400 (w/larger cache), 768 MB of RAM. 2) AMD K6-2 running at 300 Mhz, 64 MB of RAM. Regarding the latter possibility. I figure if I get a hauppage card to handle the encoding and a hauppage mvr to handle the decoding, then I could get away with a mere 300mhz cpu. I could always add more ram if necssary, and either system would get a new hard drive. Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions? Post a new comment.

Serial displays: htpc

Airco- and cooling fan-sounds. I'm in the process of custom building my own HTPC (check here. For my progress so far), and am looking for a nice serial display to show useful information on. Vacuum fluorescent displays are probably my best bet (LCD's aren't readable enough). There are plenty of suppliers. To be found online, but I was wondering if anyone here has any brand they have worked with and/or recommend. Post a new comment. Anonymous comments are disabled in this journal. Post a new comment.

The Alleged Lunch (. And a copy of the OS, and installed it. Then, in some back alley on the internet, i found MCE-specific drivers for the tuner card. why these weren't on the Hauppauge site escapes me. i downloaded them, installed them, and . perfection! Finally. done. installed. stupid shithead software. Anyways, with my computer reassembled and working, i got about to actually using Media Center. it's great! The DVD player is simple and nice. and i actually like the "More Info" contextual menus.

The Alleged Lunch (. The CPU heatsink-fan wouldn't go on until i found some obscure reference to it that mentioned i should use a screwdriver to get the second clip on. went on quite smoothly with that knowledge but that really should have been more obvious. I don't need a writer, just a reader. I bought Coolmax round IDE cables to help with airflow and the maneuvering around the cramped interior. they're awesome! The Samsung Spinpoint harddrive is extremely quiet except. I added another PVR-250 almost r...
