Started a HTPC project a little while ago and it has progressed quite well so far ... AMD Athlon 64 3200+ ASUS M2NPV-VM Mobo (only one I could find with component out) 512MB DDR2 30GB Quantum Fireball IDE HD (has outlasted a number of newer hard drives so far) 250GB Seagate SATA2 HD Leadtek Winfast DTV2000H PCI Tuner Pioneer Silver DVD/RW Netgeat WG311 Wireless NIC Antec HTPC Case MS MCE Remote Control, Keyboard, etc. Feeding to a 106cm Panasonic Viera Plasma TV Originally I had a cutdown version of XP Running along with Mediaportal but got the shits after a while as it was slow and buggy. Ended up just over the weekend converting the whole setup to Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft + OpenBox + MythTV with Xine as the main playing software. I can say it has definitely made a difference, and most important of all ... everything works (remotes, wireless, etc.) little interference needed. Just need to install an FTP server to transfer new movies easily. MCE Keyboard support is in progress on Sourceforge, so thats the next thing to try.
