I am thinking of building a simple HTPC for my Mits WS65807. The main function will be Dscaler for S-video sources (mostly Tivo). Here's what I have lying around:
P3/1000 CPU
440BX motherboard
256mb PC100 Ram
Geforce2mx
I'll need a quiet black case with floppy and DVD, a small HD, and a video input card. I'm happy with my current progressive DVD player, so I don't think I need a sound card for now.
Will this system be adequate for Dscaler? Can anyone recommend a case or video card? Do I need a Radeon instead of the Geforce? And will I be better off running this at 1080i (RGB cable to the hidef input) or 480p (convert to a component input).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I've built several PCs but never an HTPC. Thanks!
