Just posting a new build on a sitting around computer. Newbee here not familiar with LinuxMCE. A little bit familiar with Ubuntu. This computer will be sitting in the basement "comm" room. I currently have a MythTV box sitting in the vicinity with connectivity two a couple of HD Homerun boxes (5 tuners) and using a Nexus Satellite tuner card inside of it. Lately into small footprint boxes such that I may move this setup to a mITX I7/I5 CPU board in a small footprint case.
1 - Original Hardware
HP Pavillon A1700n - new never used been sitting in the basement catch all pc pile.
Relating to initial build had some issues with built in video and network card. Updated base with:
1 - Intel Gb NIC (new PCI card) - integrated Gb NIC wouldn't talk any faster than 100Mb.
2 - Gigabyte GV-R467D3 (ATI Radeon) - it too was just sitting around in the cache all box (new)
Started again from scratch. Installing updates to base (not sure if this is right - not reading wiki right now) - Guessing it should be plugnplay.
