Home Theater PC

I finnally set up my HTPC with a good media library. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and Boxee media center. Which is running smoothly. I ran into a few issues playing certain file types, but with some re-encoding everything should be O.K. Right now, it's basically a giant podcatcher with my iTunes library on it. However, I have big plans for it. The new PC cable tuners with suppor for Cable Cards should help out. I'm going to set it up with the MythTV front end, then I'm going to incorporate everything so that MythTV runs in the background. That way, I can view all my recorded content through Boxee. However, for that price I could simply get a Tivo and archive my shows on my HTPC. I still think the Cable tuner is the best idea because there is no subscription fee. In any case, my HTPC will be running great. The specs are: 3Ghz Core 2 Duo, Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, BFG Tech 9800GT, 2GB of RAM, and a 500GB WD Caviar Green SATA drive.
