[QUOTE="lubbe75, post: 10429"] I'm planning an HTPC here and it seems to me like the twinhan DVB-T card with CI card reader is a good choice (since I may very well want to watch subscription channels later on). However, that one requires two PCI sockets... Is there a good barebone system out there that has 2 PCI sockets? Most barebones have only one. I have found two exceptions so far: ASUS Pundit and ASUS Vintage. I read here and there that the pundit becomes rather noisy, and the vintage doesn't look all that fantastic ;) But hey, if someone can tell me that the vintage is nice and good for MP I might change my opinion. Any other choices out here? I don't know a whole lot about hardware so I'd rather base it on a barebone than an empty box. Good to hear your thoughts on this... /Lubbe [/QUOTE]
