I've already decided on Windows Media Center. I get an academic license for Vista Ultimate so it's no cost to me. i really like MCE's interface and there is very good custom software that will re-encode recorded video to remove commercials from it.
I did go for the x4850e CPu though. low power and plenty of horse power. The AMD 780g chipset also includes a built in HD3200 with DVI out. very cool and saves money on a video card. |

| That is a good chipset. I have the built in HD3200 on my desktop at home. I used it briefly, but ended up with an HD3870 for gaming. Regretfully I don't have any discounts for Windows which is what sent me OpenSuSE. But Mediatomb has treated me really well. -- Retaking our country one election at a time. |
