combo deal for $69.98 A/R Shipped.
I understand that this is not the latest or fastest, but I have built a
number of Over-The-Air WMC7 DVR/PVR/HTPC boxes for customers using this
board and connected to Flat panel TV's with a VGA connection.
Before anyone says anything about VGA vs HDMI, VGA maxes out at higher
resolution than 1080p, which is the most you can get from a Blu-Ray drive.
Most of the TV broadcast is 1080i or 720p. If you insist on HDMI, add a
cheapo, $20 ATI 4200/nVidia 200 video card.
It has 1x PCI-E slot and uses DDR2 RAM, 2x SATA ports.
It wont support CableCard decryption, since the video card won't pass
Digital Cable Advisor test, but you can trick the system by installing a
compliant video card for the test, and then replacing it with a CableCard
tuner.
I have tested it, and the trick works with Ceton InfiniTV 4, quad CableCard
tuner, and the system has no problem decrypting and recording 4 Premium
Cable channels at the same time, and playing back previously recorded or
downloaded content.
Newegg is also taking pre-orders for SiliconDust Hd HomeRun Prime, a network
attached triple CableCard tuner.
The processor alone is selling for $60, so you are getting the board for $9.
99....
