<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have a Pundit-R with a PVR-250. To
get the capture card installed without bending the chassis (too much) I
had to insert the card into the lower slot on the Pundit and even then
it is a bit of a thight fit. It works though and the chassis can close
without any problems. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm going to install a second card soon
and I have my eyes on the PVR-350 and I have come the conclusion that it
will probably mean that I will have to "work" the chassis a bit
(and maybe even cut a little here and there). I think it is ok since the
modding will be hidden once you close the case. As to the PVR-350 being
a little longer - it should be ok since the tight fit is height wise.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As to whether it is worth it - I think
so.... The Pundit is the only case I found that has a reasonable size and
where you (teoretically) can fit 2 pci cards... Most other bare-bones
only have room for 1 pci.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The one thing to be aware of is that
the Pundit hardware is rather new. This means that the network card isn't
suported with a standard Fedora core 2 install (there is however a solution
to this) and that the mobo uses the atiixp audio driver which cause some
problems. I seem to have found the solution (with help from the forum)
by switching to ALSA audio and by modifying the latency_delay of the pci
cards (not as hard or "geeky" as it sounds). Once I verify that
the setup works in the longer run, I'm going to do a write up of the steps.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hope the above helped/helps.</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>Hello to All:<br>
<br>
I'm in the process of setting up mythtv on my current computer. I've <br>
allready ordered the PVR-350.<br>
<br>
I was initially going to be reasonable and set everything up on my <br>
desktop to make sure it was working before I went out and splurged on a
<br>
new dedicate system. BUT... in the process of setup, reading, etc I've
<br>
gotten myself too excited about all the awesome features of myth (I'm <br>
currently an avid TiVo user/fan.. but this story has convinced me it's
<br>
time to eBay the TiVo and move to Myth: <br>
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2026&e=1&u=/latimests/tivowillnolongerskippastadvertisers
<br>
) . To heck with reasonable, I'm going to splurge.<br>
<br>
I have my eyes on the Pundit-R... I heard someone comment that the <br>
PVR-250 "barely" fit into their pundit system. I noticed the
350 is a <br>
bit longer! Does anyone here have a Pundit-R with a 350? I'm just <br>
looking for confirmation that it will fit before I order the case.<br>
<br>
I'd also be interested to hear any other recomendations for a sleek, <br>
small case (with two PCI slots)-- or any other hardware recomendations.
<br>
I heard this site was a good place to go for hardware setups <br>
http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-pvrhwdb.php .... but it doesn't seem to
work!<br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance,<br>
