well since my MB crapped out (5 years of loyal service) i need to get my computer back up and running. this computer will be a MythTV backend and XP machine. i will be running VMware so that i can run them both at the same time. i previously had dual boot, but that was a pain in the ass to shut down my backend just to print print something. plus i need xp fo some software that ill be using in my classes
the breakdown:
Asus P5K3 MB
Intel Q6600 CPU
G. Skill 2x1GB DDR3 1066MHz
1x320GB WD for OS
3x500GB WD for storage (soon to be expanded to 4 for raid5)
EVGA 7300GT vid card
Hauppauge PVR-150 tuner card
plextor dvd-r/rw/dl burner
some neat additions:
Zalman 9700 NT cpu cooler
2x scithe 120mm fluid bearing case fans
thermaltake iCage. adds more HDD space and another 120mm fan
all in a cheap 25 dollar coolmax case.
ill add some pics after class.
