This is interesting. I am going to build a mythTV box in the next month or
so, and would appreciate any feedback people have.
My biggest concern is sound. I would prefer to never hear the system, but
understand that there will be some hard drive use, and a power supply fan.
Can anyone recommend a small case setup using a AMD1200, with minimal
noise.
