For mine, it cost me about $400 a year or so ago, buying decent quality parts and such. You can have it be more or less expensive, depending on what you want in it, the form factor, etc. If you buy a fast enough processor, you can get away with a really cheap bt tv card, but I'd recommend spending a bit extra to get a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 250 or 350.. if you'd like, you can get the OEM 250's for $90 on eBay. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
