OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Retail Item #: N82E16817341010 A little overboard on PSU, but it was on discount + very nice rebate. SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model SH-S223Q - OEM Item #: N82E16827151173 Don't necessarily need LightScribe...non LS drives are $5 cheaper Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Item #: N82E16822136317 A little slower than WD Black or Seagate drives, but fast enough for Myth & lower energy consumption. Rosewill RCW-H9007 6 ft. Digital Coaxial Audio Cable M-M - Retail Item #: N82E16882021052 Some MB need Coax, some need Optical CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400 - Retail Item #: N82E16820145590 Watch the memory. While the DDR 1033 may be cheaper after-rebate than the DDR2 800, it is rumored not to work with AM2 CPUs... Only works with AM2+ (Tri & Quad core) ASUS M3N78 PRO AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813131320 Also strongly considered M3N78-EM /w optical S/PDIF, but for a few bucks more I could get more expansion slots just in case I wanted to put pcHDTV 5500 capture cards in, etc. Most MB Mfgs have the manual online in PDF. Read it before you order to check for HW compatability. Type the ChipSets in Google & do a Linux compatibility check. From mailing lists, I'm told this MB will work, just be prepared to recompile Alsa from cvs/svn/git head. ASUS EN8500GT SILENT MAGIC/HTP/512M GeForce 8500 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail Item #: N82E16814121093 Asus makes a EN8400GS 512M...out of stock when I ordered & shipping cost on later 2nd order would've erased any potential savings. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 Brisbane 2.9GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor Model ADO5600DOBOX - Retail Item #: N82E16819103234 Probably a little over-powered if I run VDPAU. My main point was to stay away from the 85W & 125W CPUs. VDPAU is still technically experimental on Myth & compile from cvs/svn/git head required, however significant progress has been made in past 4 months...quite a few on mailing list are now running with VDPAU & user population considers is mostly stable, but it just hasn't made it into an official release (but the last one of those was over a year ago) *SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum front panel, 0.8 mm SECC body LC17-B ATX Media Center / HTPC Case - Retail * *Model #:*LC17-B *Item #:*N82E16811163055 Same price on amazon.com, but you don't pay $25 S&H that NewEgg charges for the Brown truck if you're willing to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive. SiliconDust HDHomeRun Network-based Dual Digital HDTV Tuner Ethernet Interface - Retail N82E16815327005 Haven't bought it yet, but I likely will. Channel Master Long-Range Outdoor Rooftop HDTV Antenna - 4228HD So long as you don't want to pick-up PBS, you're a bit closer to the "antenna farm" than I am & can likely go with PCT ULTRAtenna HDTV Antenna - 4221HD . Antennaweb.org says I could've gone with the 4221, however articles posted on wral.com by their cheif broadcast engineer were recommending the 4228 for most installations. ...and get this...they are manufactured in NC, not China. With the antenna in my bedroom, I plugged it into my TV & got NTSC WRAL, WRAZ, WNCN, WTVD (CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC) just fine. Makes me wonder why I've been paying DirecTV so much money to watch what I can get for free. I'm sure once I get it in the attic things will look even nicer. Still no decision on remote. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU
