I have acquired a Mni Atx motherboard (1ghz cpu firewire/usb2/sound/video etc.) Its only 6 inches square. I have a tv tuner/video capture card too. I think I'm going to build a media PC. I think I will try FREEVO on it. This will be both a hardware and software project along with a little modding. (I might try to stuff it all inside an old VCR for media conversion).
I think this will be an interesting and useful how to project. I should be able to document it with photo's and maybe a little video just for something different.
As soon as I have all the part together I will start the project. I think since FREEVO is a Linux program it will fit in here on this Blog. I will need to find a Linux Distro that works with the motherboard I have since everything is on board except the capture card. I hope this won't be a problem but we will see.
I'll probably start the project after Christmas (I have the week off)

This is one project I want to try at some time. We really want a media PC.
I'll hold out 'til I get an Xbox 360. It's got enough horsepower and current/future features that pretty much adds to a media center.
