I have had a nice bit of bourbon tonight and may pull the trigger on the beginnings of a system (hell, I may even do it in the morning :^)
Looking for ENTRY, but expandible. Any and all thoughts welcome. These are actual prices. I am looking to do internal DVD, DSS (via S-Video capture) and HDTV via onboard card later on. I have a Win-TV 401 Hauppauge for capture I have already been playing with. I put prices, but not the reseller in case that is a no-no.
From scratch (other than the 401 and a harddrive or two I have laying around):
ATI RADEON 9000 PRO 128MB DDR DVI/TV-out AGP 275/550MHz (Refurbished) $79.00
Lite-On 16x DVD Model LTD-163 Black $43.00
AMD Athlon XP 2000+/266 FSB Processor CPU - 2000+/ 1.67GHz $93.00
Aopen Model AW850D $24.00
SONY 1.44MB 3.5 INCH INTERNAL FDD DRIVE - OEM $8.00
VIKING DDR 266 256MB 32x64 PC2100 DDR RAM $61.00
Abit AMD761 Chipset ATX Motherboard Model KG7-Raid (Refurbished) $36.00
FOXCONN SUPER CASE BLACK MID TOWER CASE ATX3400-P4 $30.00
I will add HD space later (and maybe with quieter drives) and a quieter PS and fans if necessary.
I am feeding an XGA LCD proj with no HD capabilities :^(, but when I upgrade the proj it will be DVI for sure.
Thanks,
Shawn
