I'm not really into the DIY DVR scene, but I'd think with over the air, cable, and sat all being digital now that you should be able to get a single board to do the job, multi-channel simultaneous recording and all. > Thanks for the homework with NewEgg; No problem.

I've never had a problem with any of the spinning drives I purchased from them. I had a Corsair SSD die after ~4 months, no fault of Newegg. Of the few grand I've spent with them since 2003, on parts for many new systems, repairs and upgrades, the only other problem I've had was a $20 four channel fan controller w/one dead channel outta the box. > My endgame is to replace the entire backend with an HP DL180g6, which > has 12 SAS/SATA tray slots on the front, and proper cooling.

Save the rest for a rainy day. The DL180G6 (discontinued BTW) with a handful of drives will cost more than the PC and plasma TV combined. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
