Thats cool. I'm trying to get a PVR set up using mythtv. It looks really nice. www.mythtv.org (for linux). Bad part is there's no support for a WinTV PVR yet, but the good news is they're working on it

I work for WD so I got some early sample S-ATA drives. They've been really wonky. I don't fear for my data or anything, it's more that the array will be have noticable performance variations. I'm certain that the reason for this is because my the firmware on my drives most like pre-alpha. I just got a 120 GB S-ATA drive which I'm gonna install on a new Asus Canterwood mobo that's being delivered. I'll let you know how the 120 GB model goes.

I have absolutely no reason to buy a canterwood. I've been really happy with my p4g8x deluxe. I just can't resist faster shit...
I have had a complete love-hate relationship with Asus over the years though. Many a time I've sworn them off cursing into the night. But I think I've found the secret with Asus products. They typically do a real good job on their HIGH end shit (i.e. A7N8X Deluxe, the P4G8X Deluxe, A7M266-D); however, anything other than the highest-end product offering from Asus has a 50-50 chance of sucking balls. Whenever I build budget systems for family or friends, I always go MSI or Abit. They've never done me wrong with the mid price tier. I would've love to have sworn off Asus years ago, but they just pack so much good shit on their high-end boards.... too tempting for my weak-hearted nature!

Yeah I know what you mean. I bought the A7v133 ages ago, great board. Before I had the Cusl-2c, the P3b-F, and the p2b-f. All great boards.
After that ironically I hated how their boards looked, the puke brown could only go so far. So I picked up other manufactureres, mostly MSI with the nice red. The first abit board I had to get though was the It7 and man I love it. It's running my second system (a 2.8 at 3.15) right now. I also had a it7-2 and that was a great board. Oh well, I guess I just don't like the p4g8x cause it doesn't have soft menu.

I will be getting a Pioneer DVD-RW drive this week, as well as a nice surround speaker system. The MB has so much built in shit, I don't need to add much else until S-ATA drives are more widely available and reliable.

well i'm using the generic thermaltake one, i dunno the model number, but it came w/ the xaser case. I'm thinking of going for the Thermaltake SPARK 7 HSF for Socket 478 cuz it's the only one i can find that supports up to 3.06 ghz, anyways, not sure, what advice do you have
