[QUOTE="sirquack, post: 44030, member: 19288"] My main concern is compatibility with MediaPortal, I'm sure I'll be fine, just wanted your feedback. I'm currently testing it on an old AMD 1.2 Socket A system with 256Ram and a GeForce2 card and it works pretty good. My next step is to buy a compatible OTA ATSC tuner card, any advice would be appreciated. I also need to know if I'll run into any problems using the VFD display on my new case with MediaPortal? So far this is what I'll be starting with: Ahanix D4 HTPC Media Case [url]http://www.directron.com/x232.html[/url] [img]http://www.ahanix.com/images/Upload/Gallery/9_l_20056202021547110988234.jpg[/img] Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard [img]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/13-128-268-04.JPG[/img] GIGABYTE GV-NX66T128D-SP Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card Passive Cooled [img]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/14-125-015-03.JPG[/img] AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz HT 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor [img]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/19-103-572-02.JPG[/img] CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory [img]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/20-145-440-02.JPG[/img] Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive for O/S [img]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/22-135-106-07.JPG[/img] Thanks Randy [/QUOTE]
