Zoiks,
i'm roughly in the same boat as you, and it's exciting. ;)
i just purchased the Sony KDL-52XBR4 LCD and my new HD capable Myth
hardware should be showing up today according to my Fed-Ex widget. :D
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI G35 w/ Intel C2Q Q9300 2.5G CPU & 4 GB RAM
think that'll have enough horsepower for H.264 HD? :D
i know it's a tad overkill, but i'm planning on installing a full
desktop on it instead of just my current slimmed down Myth only
install. you've got me on disk space. i only picked up two Seagate
500GB HD's for it...
hopefully i'll find some time to get it up and running before the weekend.
