PVR Ideal specs

[marklp77]

Hi,

I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a computer solely used as a PVR.

--I'm looking for low electricity/heat

--Be able to easily record and play back at the same time

--Go as economical as possible

Right now I'm thinking the following:

--P4 1Ghz

--WD 80G HD - 5400RPM (less heat than 7200)

--looking for MB recommendation

-- 512 Micron RAM


So, what do you think?

Thanks,
Mark

They don't make a P4 that is that slow. If you want low electricity/heat go for the VIA C3 1 GHz, it's no Athlon XP but it'll do nicely for a low powered system. The C3 uses Socket 370 so you won't find yourself spending much money on a motherboard either .

Although... if you ran a P4 1.6 at 66 MHz FSB then you could have a 1056 MHz P4.
