I'm looking to build a HTPC on the cheap. I don't want to spend much more than $300. I have a few questions about the setup i may get.
Sory for the list:
1) Will a 1.8GHz Applebred Duron be enough CPU to be able to encode 1 stream and watch a live stream at the same time? I will probablly be using Mpeg4 as my codec.
2) Is 256MB Ram enough to run both the MythTV frontend and backend on the same machine?
3) Is the VIA KM400 chipset a good choice. I won't be using it for anything else other than a PVR.
4) What the lowest wattage power supply that i can use? here are the specs:
1.8GHz Applebred Duron
PCchips VIA KM400 Flex atx MB
256 MB PC2100
80 GB 7200rpm HD
GF2mx
16x DVD
