Digital

A couple of parts from Scan and the rest from Overclockers and we have ourselves a new media center PC, WOPR Mark II.

I’ve been planning this for two weeks, I’ve read countless articles about what power supplies are the quietest, how to run CPU’s without fans, and since at one point I planned on running MythTV on Linux (until deciding to run Windows Media Center Edition instead because I couldn’t be bothered with all the hassle) I’ve read all about TV cards and what the pros and cons of each one is. Frankly, it’s all been dull as hell. But despite all that I still ended up ordering a dual tuner TV card today that was actually for regular broadcast television, rather than digital. It’s all sorted out thankfully, but there was a moment there where I just felt decidedly stupid.
