[QUOTE="flintstone99, post: 700378, member: 72866"] [b]AW: Advice on buildup...[/b] Hi, on HDD as written by thedane 5400rpm models are pretty fine. I am rnning a 2TB Caviar Green frm WD in my system without any troule. And not much noise too.... I am now even starting with a client/server setup and have my recordings on a Atom330 in the cellar with the client accessing via Gig Erthernet and this is for sure much slower than any built in HD in a integratd setup. On size: take a big one! Consider that 1hour of recording takes ~2GB. So if you want to keep records on your disc.....and you will probably want to do so, because it is so much more conveniant than burning to DVD's etc.... on gfx, I ran on a 780G integrated HD3200 for more than a year and it worked fine with SD TV and DVD's and all the stuff. So a 4200 should be fine for starters. You can always add a discrete gfx card later on. regards flintstone [/QUOTE]
