Installation issues / Recomendation for cheap system
« on: February 02, 2010, 02:55:53 pm »
I am getting enough money back from taxes to pay down a bunch of bills and hopefully buy a LinuxMCE setup for my house. I will currently only be using it as a Multimedia system, though I will eventually be adding the phone component, security component and home automation to it.
I currently have two rooms with TV's and will likely be adding two more rooms in the future, assuming I can get them wired (More a question of time then ability).
I would like to know what the cheapest media director setup would be. Would an Atom330 processor be enough to power a media director? I am going to have an off Core NAS storage system that will have uber amounts of storage space, and I am looking at having a Core with 2 Coax inputs and a Pentium Dual core which should suffice. The other issue I have is that none of my current TV's are HD, so I would need either an S-Video output or Composite output. We will move to HDMI Tv's in the future, but not right now. Any input would be great. Thank you all for a wonderful system for me to drool over!
