Just one other quick question, with regards my CPU and mobo. I have had a look around various forums and this site has been mentioned a few times,
http://www.linuxtech.net/features/be...herboards.html, listing the best Mobos for HTPCs.
I have decided to go the Athlon route and my original CPU, choosing an Athlon II X2 240 over the E5300, and shall be putting it in one of the suggested AMD Mobos. This is all fine but for one thing - the boards are all mini-ATX and only have two PCI cards, which I shall use up with my two tuner cards as per above. Do you think I should just go for it, as I am unlikely to need another PCI Card for an HTPC or, as I am getting a case that can take a full size board, should I get a full size board with extra PCI ports?
Thanks again for your help.
