[QUOTE="thinksnow, post: 24731, member: 11265"] I figured, "What better time to post about my completed HTPC than right before [url=http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10651&highlight=]I tear it down to make a new one[/url]!" so here is the current system: [url=http://home.columbus.rr.com/themelis/HTPC/]Pictures here[/url] P4 2.8E on a MSI 865PE Neo2, 1.5GB GeIL DDR400 (2x512 + 2x256 in dual channel), 3x 80GB WD SATA, I/O Magic IDVD16DD dual-layer, dual-format DVD burner Dvico Fusion5Lite & Hauppauge PVR-250, GF4 FX5200 VGA-out to VGA-in on the 50" Sony 50A10 XP Pro, SP2 MP 0.1.3.0 WinDVD 5 Platinum Nero 6 Ultra Edition ffdshow Everything set up pretty easily, except for the XMLTV, which I had to do quite a bit of trial and error to get set correctly. I'm in Ohio, Eastern Standard time zone and instead of using -0500, I ended up using -1100 in the DOS configuration and -0400 in the updater batch file. Weird, but it works. I started off using a TI4200, VGA-VGA (since my TV supports that), then switched to DVI-HDMI, but when I swapped out the 4200 for the 5200 (to get DX9 support), I had to go back to VGA, since the card is a dual VGA-out. On the next system, I'll be using my 6800, so I'll go back to the the DVI-HDMI and hopefully have a small [url=http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10755&highlight=]5" TFT[/url] or a 15"-17" LCD connected to the VGA so that I can run things without turning on the TV...or I'll just buy a Thermaltake Media LAB VFD panel (or Siverstone VFD display) and call it quits.
