I am in the process of building a little Myth system. ?It is to loud
and big, but I can hide it in a closet behind the TV.
Trying out a pcHDTV.com HD3000 card I had in my 'do this project one day' stock.

If it works with my current setup I may spring for new hardware.

What I have is a old gateway XPHome boxen a friends friend threw away.
?I dumped junk off of it an it ran XP OK.
The 'free I will help you run faster and safer programs' really hurt
when you have several on a single boxen.
Even with XPHome it does OK for a mail ?reader and browser system.

I am sure I should put a new video card in it, but just to see if it
runs under its own weight, this should be enough.
