My new hardware list for my PVR

After my last try to get some hardware together for my PVR, I did another try at computerland.nl. And this is the list I came up with. I did a downpayment 2 days ago, so I hope I'll have my system within 2 or 3 days. Apart from a good service with computerland, I also managed to get some 60 euro's of the bill, just by asking ;-)

Hardware

This is the list of stuff bought:

• Case/Motherboard: Shuttle 8500 G4
• A nice shuttle barebonbe with some cool Specs (PDF)
• Processor: AMD Sempron 2600 64 bits
• specs
• Tuner card: Hauppauge Win-TV-PVR 500 MCE
• A very nice card. A bit young, so Linux support is flanky and one needs newer beta drivers. The 150/250 seem to be more mature. However, it has hardware MPEG encoding and has two (!) tunercards and a FM card
• Videocard: ASUS v9520-X/TD, 128 MB
• The main reason for this card is, that is has "Nvidia GeForce FX5200" chipset, very old and well suported by the Linux community. It also has TV-out and DVI-I, good choice.
• Harddisk: Maxtor 300GB 16 MB, SATA II
• SATA II even!
• Memory: DIMM 512 MB PC 3200 DDR Nanya
• "512 MB ought to be enough for everyone"
• DVD: NEC ND3550 Dual Layer +/- R/ RW
• Specs
• Remote control: Philips I/R Remote Controller RC153 NL
• I *hope* to get this working!
• Network: onboard ethernet
• I need an extra access point to get frames towards it though
• Sound: onboard
• n/a

I'll update this page once I got my hardware.
